The question stems from the desire to gauge the success of workplace pension auto-enrolment in Henry Smith's constituency, Crawley. Since the introduction of this policy in 2012, there has been a significant push for financial security among workers.
How many people have been auto-enrolled in workplace pensions in Crawley constituency since 2012?
My hon. Friend is a doughty champion for Crawley. It is fantastic news that 35,000 people have been automatically enrolled into a workplace pension in the Crawley constituency as a whole. That is also thanks to the 1,600 employers who have supported them in their auto-enrolment duties.

Context
Following the initial success report of workplace pension auto-enrolment, Henry Smith seeks to recognise a key provider in his constituency. The People's Pension is based in Crawley and has been successful in its operations.
Those are very impressive statistics that prove that this Government's policy of auto-enrolment has been a great success. Will the Minister join me in paying tribute to auto-enrolment pension providers such as B&CE—The People's Pension—which is based in my Crawley constituency?
I was delighted to meet The People's Pension with my hon. Friend a couple of years ago and see the fantastic work that it does. It has more than 5 million members and is one of the largest providers in this important market. I am sure that we will continue to work with it as we expand automatic enrolment, take it to the first £1 earned and lower the entitlement age as we bring forward the 2017 automatic enrolment changes.
