tweeps- just dive in! It’s all here!
I’m not sure a blog has ever been written around one person’s tweets of an event, but Jo Cumbo’s online reporting of the Public Accounts Committee’s session on auto-enrolment is so excellent that I thought to hand over to her twitter feed!
It was an important session, following the recent report of the National Audit. There were no questions (it would seem) about pressing the panic button , as widely reported in the Telegraph and more recently in Corporate Adviser. The issues dealt with were proper issues, those discussed in this blog and those of national interest. Top of the list was the accountability of NEST and the need for it to be clear on how it clears its debt.
There has to be an urgent and cogent discussion on NEST pricing if we are not to have pricing distortions that could lead to major market disruption next year.
Over to Jo…
