answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2018 answer text <p>Between Q2 2016 and Q1 2017, individuals accessed over £6.4 billion from defined contribution pension pots through 1.4 million payments.</p><p> </p><p>Early evidence collected by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and HMRC suggests that individuals are making decisions to cash in small pots while drawing down a steadier income stream from larger pension pots. However, as of March 2017, 5.8 million defined contribution pots eligible for withdrawal, or 80% of all eligible pots, remained untouched. Overall it is too early to draw definitive behavioural lessons from the data that is currently available on withdrawals from defined contribution pots, given that pension freedoms have only been in place for little over two years.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA is also undertaking a review of the post-freedoms retirement market and published its Retirement Outcomes Review interim report in July 2017. The final report is due to be published in the first half of 2018. The Government welcomes the FCA’s work in this area, awaits the publication of the final report, and will carefully consider any recommendations contained within it.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 12/02/2018 15:30:06 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
