Raising of the Pension Age

That well-made point explains the situation. I think that the pension age will go up to 70 if the Tories get elected. Lord Turner, the chair of the Pensions Commission, has set the scene for the Tories, and he is a former bosses' leader, so we all know that he is sympathetic to them. According to one report, he told the BBC in August last year""that there were arguments made during his review that the pension age go up to 70 by as early as 2030."" He said:""If I was redoing my report I would be more radical, arguing for an even faster increase in the state pension age"." That clearly contrasts with what he said in his report.
