    Consultation description

    The paper Pension scams published jointly by HMT and DWP seeks views on a package of measures to tackle three different areas of pension scams:

    • a ban on cold calling in relation to pensions to help stop fraudsters contacting individuals
    • limiting the statutory right to transfer to some occupational pension schemes
    • making it harder for fraudsters to open small pension schemes
