Kennedy unveils new pension reform policy
Charles Kennedy has unveiled Liberal Democrat plans for Pensions Reform, a week before the publication of the final report of the Pensions Commission. Charles Kennedy said "Securing a fair, sustainable pensions system that tackles pensioner poverty is one of the biggest challenges of this Parliament. We have one of the lowest state pensions in the developed world, and one of the most complex systems. Women, in particular, suffer real discrimination. We need a pensions settlement which can last so people can plan for retirement."
