Rachel Reeves considers cutting tax-free pension lump sum to raise billions

Rachel Reeves could consider cutting the amount savers are allowed to withdraw in a lump sum from their pension pots as she seeks to plug a multi-billion-pound hole in the public finances. The chancellor will look at proposals from civil servants that could raise around 2bn by lowering the limit on how much people are allowed to take out of their pension without paying tax.
