Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden will be questioned by the cross-party Work and Pensions Committee on Wednesday on the work of the Department.

The session follows some big movements involving his Department for Work and Pensions. Over recent days, it has said it will review its decision not to pay compensation to 1950s-born women affected by pension age increases, the launch of the Milburn review and the publication of Charlie Mayfield’s report, which called on businesses to help tackle health-related unemployment.

➡️ 2026: EU legislators decide on the digital euro Regulation.
➡️ 2027: we kick off a pilot project and the first digital euro transactions go live.
➡️ 2029: “Cash or digital euro?” could be the new question when paying.

The digital euro will give you more freedom to choose how you pay, alongside cash.
