as you have made reference to form, then its worth noting that Labour increased the amount of tax free cash possible during their last period in power. They also had a higher lifetime allowance rate than under the Conservatives. And they had a higher annual allowance than under the Conservatives.Grandst2 said:They have form on pensions so don't be a victim, anticipate and act.

If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.3 -
