Allow people to access their pensions during the Coronavirus crisis
Allow people to take money out of their pensions without the normal punitive taxation.
Many people need to dip into their savings during this crisis, but the normal pension rules impose a large tax on money taken out of pensions. If people could access their pension savings, it would be easier to stay afloat for many households, and there would be some more money going into the economy.
