Conclusion (the committee's words)
We welcome the fact that the government asked Dr Suzy Morrissey to balance fairness and sustainability in her independent review of the State Pension age and set up a Second Pensions Commission to make recommendations on broader questions of adequacy, fairness and sustainability to guide the long-term future of the pensions system. The range and scale of challenges outlined in the Commission’s interim report, make clear that pensions policy is at a pivotal point. (Conclusion, Paragraph 9)
