The Government has announced that it will put in place a charge cap set at 0.75% of funds under management for the default funds of all schemes used for automatic enrolment from April 2015. This means we will deliver on the timetable in our consultation document to have a full cap for all qualifying schemes in place by April 2015.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 07/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb
