State pension age review launched: could it rise to 70?

Ministers have launched a legally required review into the UK state pension age, examining whether it should rise automatically with life expectancy—an option that could push it towards 70 over time. The review, led by Dr Suzy Morrissey, is taking evidence until 24 October. It will weigh costs, fairness across generations and regions, and international models. A separate actuarial report will guide the final decision.
