A fraught old age - the Turner Report and pension worries
The preliminary findings of the Turner report - a commission on pensions expected to be highly influential on future government policy - have recieved a mixed reaction after they were leaked ahead of their official release.
Controversial measures to increase the statutory retirement age to 67 for state pensions have angered unions, though parallel suggestions that companies should be forced to contribute more to the pensions pot have been well received.
The commission has also suggested that the later retirement date should be offset by a higher pensions rate - up from a basic rate of £80 to £109.
