Dr. Tom McDonnell:
Broadly speaking, one of the classic mistakes made in tax systems is to bring in special tax breaks for groups. We would fix the pension tax system by making sure it was not possible to escape it at any part. We would want to incentivise people to delay their spending, but my own view is that the best solution to any future pension crisis is simply to have an adequate pension for everyone.
