The Government is planning to ban employers from asking staff
about their pensions in job interviews to prevent
discrimination.
Government are understood to be concerned that employers will
try to reduce the cost of the new personal accounts, which requires
employers to make a contribution, by only recruiting those staff
who say they will opt out of the scheme.
It is understood that the Government would amend the Pensions
Bill later this month, to prevent discrimination.
