Intergenerational Fairness

Proceeding contribution from Julian Knight (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 February 2017. It occurred during Estimates day on Intergenerational Fairness.

Does my hon. Friend therefore agree that we should reform pensions tax relief to enable younger people to save more? Three quarters of pensions tax relief goes to higher earners, who are often older. If we reformed it—moving to, say, 28p or 30p in the pound—lower-income people would have more bang for their buck.
