Occupational Pensions

I think that I had better steer clear of the first part of my hon. Friend’s question, because it is not my responsibility to comment on that. In relation to my hon. Friend’s important points about the financial assistance scheme, let me be clear that I am very happy to meet Members, from both sides of the House, over the next few weeks to talk about the future of the financial assistance scheme as we expedite the review of the scheme and look to the future, to the extent that we are able to, to provide more support for people caught up in these terrible circumstances. That is an open invitation to Members on both sides of the House to express to me their views about what further support we should be providing. We will listen very carefully to all those points.
