EXCHANGE OF VIEWS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF WORK AND PENSIONS

Malcolm WicksThe Miniister for Pensions, Malcolm Wicks, spoke at a South East Regional meeting on 25th September '03 and took some questions from the audience.  After the Minister had to leave, one of his staff remained and helped us in a wide ranging debate about pension issues as the audience saw them.  Notes were taken so that the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) could give us more information later.

On this page we link to both the text of what went to the DWP and their response.  The documents are without editing or commentary.

OPA will be using this information in its further communications with the DWP.  If you have particular points that you would like emphasised you can tell us by email. 

When we have your reaction, some commentary will appear here.
