The role of pensions minister tends to change hands regularly but since his appointment in 2017 Guy Opperman has become the second-longest serving person in that position - second to Sir Steve Webb.

Earlier this year he guided the Pensions Act into law, which included long-awaited rules around pension dashboards, collective defined contribution schemes, and new powers for The Pensions Regulator.

This week FTAdviser's pensions reporter Amy Austin has a chat with Opperman about the plans to reassess the pensions advice allowance, the dwindling supply of defined benefit pension transfer advice and his work cracking down on scams.
