People will need to accrue at least 10 years of National Insurance contributions to claim the new single-tier state pension, Work and Pensions Minister Steve Webb said today.

Mr Webb confirmed the minimum qualifying period via a written ministerial statement, ahead of the Pensions Bill Second Reading in the House of Lords. It will apply to anyone reaching state pension age after April 2016.
