Not really. They are moving the state pension age out but the private pension age stays static at 55. They have also given more freedom on how to use the private pension funds come retirement.

THe idea is to reduce the burden of the state pension. It would be counter productive to do anything counter to that.

However - the left keep wanting to take away higher tax relief on pensions. Which sounds great unless you are a nuclear family where 2 people will rely on one person's pension (like my wife will - we also have other compounding circumstances). If they cut this relief I'll leave the country or go self-employed and play the system, as it will push my marginal tax rate to a stupid rate.
