I’m delighted that ministers will now legislate for my Pensions Bill amendment - a change that could unlock billions for long-term, Britain-building investment. It’s a welcome step forward, and huge thanks to ShareAction for coordinating such an important campaign. Here’s how Torsten Bell, Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury, responded to my amendment: #pensions #investmemt #economicgrowth #productivefinance

I’m delighted Ministers have announced they will now LEGISLATE to take forward my amendment to the Pensions Bill and create statutory guidance to give pension fund trustees the freedom to invest better. It could unlock literally billions of pounds more in long term investment in net zero, affordable homes and British entrepreneurs. A good day.
