HC Deb 03 April 2000 vol 347 c337W
36. Dr. George Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people he estimates will take out stakeholder pensions. [115901]

Mr. Rooker

There are around 5 million people in the target group for stakeholder pensions, but some of those initially in that group will have personal pensions and may be unlikely to take up stakeholder pensions when they are introduced. Take up will depend on how stakeholder and other pensions are marketed by providers, and on individual choices by savers.
