The government has also extended access to the service, allowing those aged 50 and above to use guidance sessions to help them plan for their retirement. In addition, the Money Advice Service provides guides to help people improve their finances; tools and calculators to help them track and plan ahead; and offers support in person, over the phone and online.</p><p> </p><p>The government recognises that there is a potential “advice gap” for people who do not have significant wealth.

The government also launched the Public Financial Guidance consultation to look at how the provision of public financial guidance could be made more effective for consumers. Both FAMR and the Public Financial Guidance consultation will publish their recommendations in time for Budget 2016.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 12/02/2016 14:44:23 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
