GOSPORT MP Caroline Dinenage has welcomed new figures showing that, due to changes to workplace pensions, more than 9 million more people are now saving for retirement.

These figures also show that 128, 250 more people in work in the South East are now saving for a life after work.

Auto-enrolment was introduced so that more workers can save for retirement.

Caroline said: "By introducing automatic enrolment, we’re transforming the way people save for retirement.

"That means more families can plan for the long-term with the security of a pension.

"For a whole generation, workplace pension saving is now the new normal, but there’s more to do to help more people than ever before build an enjoyable and secure retirement."
