The Pensions Commission was part of the Pension Client Group and operated from 2003 until 2006. It was a non-departmental public body established in 2002 by the UK Government to review the existing regime for private pensions. Its remit was to make recommendations to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on whether there was a case for pensions reform. The reports containing their findings were published in 2004 and 2005, and the Commission was subsequently wound up.
