That is very welcome. If I am to accept and take a criticism, I acknowledge it would have been better had all that been co-ordinated when the pension age was being raised. That is the solution. The solution is not to pretend to people that we are going to be able to have decent incomes in retirement if we do not increase the retirement age. While other countries are doing it on different dates, they are all moving towards a retirement age of 68 years.
