Pensions Minister Ros Altmann has reiterated Treasury warnings that millions of current and future pensioners will be worse off if the UK leaves the European Union.

She argues that pensioners want "certainty" more than anything else - but a vote to leave will create "uncertainty".

Baroness Altmann, a leading pensions expert, tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme:

Speaking on the Today programme, Leave campaigner Iain Duncan Smith said the Treasury's claim that pensions would be hit by leaving the EU is "pretty close to being an absurd statement really".

He adds that, when people are saving for a pension, "over a long period of time you will have economic moments where a recession takes place or there is growth".

He suggested forthcoming EU directives were a greater threat to UK pensions.

The Guardian, external reports claims from remain campaigners that "leaving the EU could cause catastrophic staff shortages in some sectors, as 88% of EU workers in Britain would not qualify for a visa under the current rules".

The article continues: "A report from the Social Market Foundation thinktank has found that the majority of the 1.6 million EU workers in the UK do not meet the skills and earnings criteria that those from outside the bloc need in order to qualify for a work visa.

"There could be a severe impact on the UK labour market if freedom of movement were to end and workers from all countries were treated according to current rules, the study found.

"It highlighted the fact that EU workers make up 6% of the overall labour market, and 13% of that in London."

The former Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has described the Treasury's latest analysis of a post-Brexit economy as an "outrageous" attempt to "scare pensioners".

Mr Duncan Smith - who is campaigning to leave the EU - said the document was a "rehashed"  version of an earlier announcement, adding: "They toss it out just before they go to purdah."

The Treasury analysis suggested a leave vote would cause inflation to rise, eroding the value of state pension increases, costing recipients £137 a year.

It was released at 10 o'clock last night ahead of the midnight start of so-called purdah rules which ban government departments from releasing new publications that could influence the vote.

David Cameron says there are no fixed dates for a potential visit to the UK by Republican nominee, Donald Trump.

However, the prime minister said he would be happy to work with whoever is leading the country and that the US-UK special relationship would endure.

"I believe in the special relationship," he tells the G7 press conference.

Asked if he would congratulate Mr Trump on the Republican nomination, the PM says he "would congratulate anybody who could get through those marathon processes" to emerge as a presidential candidate.

"Britain is an amazing country," David Cameron tells the G7 press conference. "We can find our way whatever the British people choose."

He continues: "The question is - how do we do best?"

He again claims that Leave campaigners "have ruled out Norway-style options" and want to leave the single market.

David Cameron says the UK "should listen to our friends" when it comes to EU membership.

He denies that the government is "over-emphasising" the risks. "If you choose to leave the single market, there is an economic cost involved," the PM says.

He claims that Leave campaigners want "worse terms" than the UK has at the moment, adding that  "the single market is not static" and can grow.

The prime minister denies that he is "a closet Brexiteer", following a recent claim by his former adviser Steve Hilton.

"I'm not really a closet anything," David Cameron says.

He tells the G7 press conference he has had the same view about Europe since he became involved in politics: that the UK is "better off in this organisation but we should be aiming to reform this organisation".

He adds that he has opposed joining the euro or the Schengen passport-free travel area.

Speaking from the G7 summit in Japan, Prime Minister David Cameron says: "Our membership of international organisations like this enhances our influence in the world."

He tells a press conference that the G7 discussed the economic impact of the UK leaving the EU.

The EU and Japan are negotiating a trade deal that is "worth £89bn to both sides", the PM adds.

He claims it would be "far more difficult" for the UK to achieve "anything on this scale" outside the EU.

A declaration at the G7 meeting in Japan says a vote by the UK to leave the European Union would pose a "serious threat to global growth".

The Treasury has warned that millions of current and future pensioners will be worse off if the UK leaves the European Union.

BBC political reporter Tom Bateman tells Today the Treasury set out their argument just before the "purdah period kicked in at midnight".

Purdah is usually a 28-day period before elections in which the entire machinery of government is banned from communication that could be seen to influence the vote,

"Vote Leave are furious about this," Tom says. They see it as "a cynical attempt by the government to squeeze another day out of this".

However, he adds, "this is a bare-knuckle fight" and the government was always going to use its position.

A recap of the big referendum debate story - that former SNP leader Alex Salmond has said he would expect another referendum on Scottish independence within two years of a Brexit vote, in a BBC EU debate.

He said if Scotland is "dragged out" of the EU "against our will" on 23 June, he believed there would be another vote - and it would back independence.

But Conservative Liam Fox said the EU vote should not be "stoked by fear" of a second Scottish referendum.

Voters aged 18-to-29 took part in the BBC debate in Glasgow.

A brief look back at the main stories:

New migration figures showed levels rising to the second highest on record. The "Out" campaign said Britain had lost control of its borders and David Cameron had been "cynical" to claim he could bring net migration down to below 100,000 while the UK was part of the EU.

The BBC's first live TV debate on the EU referendum - for young people - brought clashes on migration, housing, jobs, the NHS and Scotland.  

The SNP's Alex Salmond told the audience a Brexit would lead to Scotland voting for independence within two years. 

The Treasury has warned that millions of current and future pensioners will be worse off if the UK leaves the European Union.  

Leave groups have declared more than £3.7m in donations raised in three weeks for the campaign to quit the EU, while the Remain camps raised just over one milion.
