If the best rates for an annuity at age 65 - escalating at 3% with a survivors’ pension of 50% - are currently c.5.3% then an annual pension income of £70-£80,000 a year would cost a DC saver somewhere between £1.3m and £1.5m if bought at retirement. Is that roughly right? (2)
I have done some very rough calcs... Based on a typical career progression for a doctor in the NHS and the rules of the current 2015 NHS Pension Scheme – a hospital doctor could expect an estimated annual pension income of between £70,000 and £80,000 upon retiring (1)
Emma Reynolds' tenure as pensions minister (189 days) was the third shortest since the role was created in its modern form in July 1998. She is only beaten by John Denham (155 days) and Alex Burghart (38 days). See: professionalpensions.com/news/2201473/l…

“@TPS accounts show from 2010 to 2022 the annual taxpayer cost of pensions, after teacher contributions, went from 15.5% to 67% of salary. Adding pensions paints a very different picture – rather than a 23% fall in real terms, teachers' total pay and pension has gone up by c10%”
