Tax & National Insurance on Company Pension

in Cutting tax
I am 52 and have recently been made redundant.
Next April I intend to draw my company pension before the law changes (the change of minimum age from 50 to 55 to draw the pension).
I understand that my pension will be liable for 20% tax - above the Income Tax allowance threshold, but will I have to pay National Insurance as well.
If so, at what rate and is there a similar threshold to Income Tax ?
Many thanks to anybody who can help me with this.
