Crawley
(Crawley) (Con): How many people have been
auto-enrolled in workplace pensions in Crawley constituency since
2012.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and
Pensions ()
My hon. Friend is a doughty champion for Crawley. It is
fantastic news that 35,000 people have been automatically enrolled
into a workplace pension in the Crawley constituency as a whole.
That is also thanks to the 1,600 employers who have supported them
in their auto-enrolment duties.
Those are very impressive statistics that prove that this
Government’s policy of auto-enrolment has been a great success.
Will the Minister join me in paying tribute to auto-enrolment
pension providers such as B&CE—The People’s
Pension—which is based in my Crawley
constituency?
I was delighted to meet The People’s Pension
with my hon. Friend a couple of years ago and see the fantastic
work that it does. It has more than 5 million members and is one of
the largest providers in this important market. I am sure that we
will continue to work with it as we expand automatic enrolment,
take it to the first £1 earned and lower the entitlement age as we
bring forward the 2017 automatic enrolment changes.
