Jeremy Hunt's £1 billion pension giveaway to the richest 1% will stop just 100 hospital doctors retiring early per year, government data suggests.
The Chancellor's decision was branded a "pensions bung to the wealthy" with no evidence to justify it.
Mr Hunt claimed his decision to scrap the top limit on tax-free pension savings would keep high-earning NHS medics in work for longer. He said many were leaving to avoid taxes of up to 55% once their pension pots hit £1.07 million.
