IDS: Govt will not force people to retirement

Iain Duncan Smith, work and pensions secretary, discussed the change in the retirement age on Sky News:

“Because we are living longer these days most people don’t feel like retiring at 65. Many, many thousands choose to work on.

“That is why we lifted that thing called the default retirement age, where you could be forced into retirement.”
