Pensions Are Another Reason to Worry About the UK Budget

On this week’s personal finance edition of Merryn Talks Money, hosts Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek discuss pension drawdown with Tom McPhail, formerly the lead pensions spokesman for the investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown. He also led an external review of the Money and Pensions Service on behalf of the UK government’s Department for Work and Pensions. They tackle what drawdown is and how to avoid getting ripped off. But first, we have a look ahead to the autumn budget and what changes to pension pots could be on the horizon.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
