Lord Turner calls on employers to engage in pensions debate

Lord Turner, head of the Pensions Commission, has called on employers to get involved in a sensible debate over compulsory pension payments for staff, instead of simply branding it as unacceptable.

Last week, his report on solving the UK's looming pensions crisis was greeted with dismay by businesses after he recommended the creation of a National Pensions Saving Scheme (NPSS), which would force all employers to pay into staff schemes.
