British Deputy Prime Minister Therese Coffey said on Tuesday she was confident that people's pensions were safe, after the Bank of England stepped into the bond market again warning of a risk to the country's financial stability.

Asked whether she could reassure people their pensions were safe, Coffey told BBC TV: "I'm absolutely confident pensions are safe."
