<\/p>
Local authorities are statutorily required to provide a number of services including electoral registration. Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act 1983 provides for the appointment of an officer of the council to be the Registration Officer for the registration of parliamentary and local government electors, and section 54 of that Act provides that expenses properly incurred by a registration officer in the performance of his registration duties shall be paid by the local authority by whom the registration officer was appointed.<\/p>
<\/p>
Additionally, the Government has committed to funding all net costs of the transition to Individual Electoral Registration to ensure that authorities are not left with unfunded burdens in line with the New Burdens Doctrine. In April 2014 the programme paid non-ring fenced section 31 grants to local authorities in England and Wales and paid invoices directly to Scotland to cover core Individual Electoral Registration costs.<\/p>

Alongside the pensions flexibility announced at Budget, the government announced a new guarantee that everyone with a defined contribution pension will be offered free and impartial face to face guidance on their financial choices in retirement when they retire. <\/strong>The Government is consulting on how best to deliver this guidance as part of its consultation<\/strong>, \u2018Flexibility and Choice in Pensions'.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>

The guidance will be designed to help consumers navigate the options available and is not intended to replace the services of professional financial advice. The government expects that many consumers will go on to seek further advice and<\/strong> will ensure that the guidance equips consumers to choose the advisory service that suits their needs.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
The government has asked the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to coordinate the development of robust standards for this guidance and a framework for monitoring compliance.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
Professional financial advice is regulated by the FCA. The FCA's statutory objectives and regulatory powers are geared to protect consumers. The FCA has committed to taking a proactive and interventionist approach to retail conduct regulation.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>

The impact will depend on how people choose to use their pension savings, which is difficult to predict.<\/strong> The Government expects any impact to be small in the context of the other pension measures announced in this Parliament \u2013 including State Pension age changes, the introduction of the single tier pension and public service pension reform \u2013 which are projected to save around £17 billion in 2030 in today's terms.
