Responding to today's publication of the Pensions Commission's 2nd report Matthew Wakefield, a senior research economist at the IFS, said: "The analysis contained in the Pensions Commission report is a welcome addition to the debate. The proposed reforms to state support for pensioners will require particularly careful consideration as the Commissions own calculations rightly underline the fact that if we want to maintain or increase the generosity of state support for pensioners without means-testing, politicians will inevitably face the painful task of raising funds, increasing the state pension age, or both".
