IDS's plans in the Queen's Speech to allow 6 months paid paternity leave might set the cat amongst the pigeons, as will the £155 a week flat rate (from 2020) which will help those who have stayed at home to raise children. But if I was currently in my late 50's or already retired, I might be a bit annoyed at all those additional S2P contributions counting for nothing. AFPS is by default, a contracted out scheme and the member and the employer pay a lower rate of National Insurance contributions - wot, no refund?
For general info, the Queen also confirmed the intention to raise the state pension age from 66 to 67 between 2026 and 2028. Bugger.
