Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Occupational Pensions.

Occupational Pensions

I welcome the tone of the Secretary of State’s statement, but does he agree that there is still a risk that this issue will escalate from a dispute between his Department and the occupational pensions authority into a dispute between Parliament and the Executive, because he has so far refused to accept the recommendations of the ombudsman and those of a Select Committee of this House? In order to avoid such a confrontation, will he give an undertaking that he will put whatever proposals he comes up with before the House for approval?
