The consultation period on the Green Paper has just concluded and work has commenced on delivering a framework to address the pensions agenda over the longer-term. It is intended that the framework will, as far as is possible, encompass all aspects of pensions and it is expected that it will be finalised by the end of this year. The issues raised by the Deputy will be considered in that context.
