Set Pension Age Not Fair


On Monday 20 June 2011, Professor Sarah Harper gave an interview on BBC4 The Today Show about Life Expectancy and Pensions. She explained a better way to set pensions.

This interview is in relation to a debate MPs will be having today about whether the age at which men and women receive the state pension should be equalised to 65 by 2018, before raising it to 66 two years later
