Just looking at the savings in paying out retirement pension assuming the final death rate is about 40,000 then at £175 per week that is an annual figure of £364 Billion every coming year.

I find that frightening.
I had the same thought a few weeks ago funny enough.

Its a pretty penny saved per year every year going forward on pensions thats for sure. Something like 300 million if basic pension is about 135 quid a week. Plus other costs to the government on top.
