Pensions: Advisory Services
- Question
-
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 3 February to Question 222173, what the locations are of the Citizens Advice Bureaux in (a) England, (b) Scotland, (c) Wales and (d) Northern Ireland where trained staff deliver the Pension Wise service.
- Answer
-
The figure of 300 trained guidance specialists is an estimate across the whole of the service. It is the responsibility of our delivery partners to determine exactly how many trained guidance specialists they will need in each area. HM Treasury has plans in place to boost capacity, particularly to deal with any initial surge of demand.
Citizens Advice has published the names of 44 bureaux which are in the first tranche of participating bureaux in England and Wales. Bureaux will use also a range of satellite locations to deliver guidance. Details of a further tranche of bureaux and satellite locations will be published shortly, along with announcements from Citizens Advice Scotland and Citizens Advice Northern Ireland of their participating bureaux.
