Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Occupational Pensions.


Occupational Pensions

Yes, I agree with my hon. Friend and I can give her that assurance. As part of the review of the financial assistance scheme, we will have to examine the way in which it currently operates—the time it takes to process applications and the interim financial payments that we can make. I am not satisfied that, so far, only 27 people have received payments. My hon. Friend the Minister for Pensions Reform and I are working together to ascertain how we can improve the current administration of the scheme.
