Pensions: Advisory Services

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, where the agents offering guidance through the Pensions Wise scheme will be based.

Answer

Pension Wise telephone sessions will be delivered by the Pensions Advisory Service, based at its headquarters in London.

Face to face sessions are being delivered by Citizens Advice England and Wales, Citizens Advice Scotland and Citizens Advice Northern Ireland. These will be offered in selected bureaux across the United Kingdom with the aim of providing good geographic coverage and ensuring the service is accessible across the UK.

The government is working closely with the three Citizens Advice bodies to ensure that they are appropriately funded and supported to build sufficient capacity in the bureaux network.
