uk pensions
i have a private pension in the uk which was frozen when we left the uk 5 years ago. at the time i was told that this could not be accessed until retirement age. i was speaking to someone recently who was on hols from the uk and he told me that the uk government is looking at allowing people to access pension funds to purchase property thus making home ownership more affordable. does anyone know if this is true. i am making other enquiries but thought i would give this a go aswell.

Re: uk pensions
This was on the agenda, but I recall the UK Government changed the planned legislation last December ...
Best regards.
