answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2024 answer text <p>Automatic Enrolment (AE) has transformed participation in workplace pension saving. More than 11 million workers have been automatically enrolled into workplace pensions to date, with the participation rate of eligible employees in the private sector increasing from 42% in 2012 to 86% in 2022. Over £115bn was saved into workplace pensions for eligible individuals in 2022.</p><p> </p><p>Expanding AE to younger people and helping all eligible workers save from the first pound of earnings will boost overall saving levels, once fully implemented, by an extra £2 billion a year in pension contributions.</p><p> </p><p>The Pensions (Extension of Automatic Enrolment) Act 2023 provides the necessary powers to deliver the expansion of AE.</p><p> </p><p>We are committed to implementing these measures in the mid-2020s. We intend to carry out a consultation on the detailed implementation at the right time. We will report to Parliament before using the powers in the Act.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 09/05/2024 13:19:00 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
