Mr. Denham

These four research projects form part of a wider programme of research on public attitudes to welfare reform issues. We plan to draw together the findings of these and other studies in a report which we expect to publish towards the end of this year. As appropriate, some of the studies will also be published individually. The work on Pensions and Retirement Planning will be published as part of the DSS Research Report Series by early Autumn. Copies of these research reports will be placed in the Library.
