Lord Hutton has produced his final report in time for the Budget on 23 March

A report into the future of pensions for teachers, nurses and other public sector workers has recommended key changes to provision as well as the length of employees' working lives.

Chancellor George Osborne has said that the projected rise in the cost to taxpayers of public sector pensions is "unsustainable".

So the coalition government set up a commission, led by former cabinet minister Lord Hutton, to consider the options for short and long-term reform of the system.

The has now been published ahead of the Budget on 23 March.

Which pensions has the commission been looking at?

That is quite a list. How much does it cost?

So how does Lord Hutton suggest this should be tackled?

What else does he suggest?

How else could the cost of pensions be cut?

Who would be hardest hit?

Isn't it true that these schemes are just too generous to afford?

As a nurse or a teacher, is this going to affect the pension I have already built up?

Hang on, I thought John Hutton was a Labour man?
