Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Occupational Pensions.
Occupational Pensions
We shall certainly try to do so. I do not think that the issue is whether compensation or financial assistance should or should not be paid. We have already put in place a financial assistance scheme. Eventually, the issue that the House will have to consider is whether the scheme needs to be expanded in any way. That will be the focus of our proposals, when we bring them forward. However, the situation is as my hon. Friend has outlined: there are cases of genuine hardship and we have always tried to make sure that those in greatest need got the greatest help.
