Aviva UK Life CEO Andy Briggs said:

"It is well known that we are not saving enough for retirement, given the average pension pot at retirement is around ?35,000.

"The Chancellor's recognition of the low savings level in the UK is a great step forward - helping people to save has never been more important.

"I've been calling for some time for a fairer, more effective and sustainable system. Aviva will be using our expertise to contribute to this debate, building on the recent workplace saving reforms."
