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


Occupational Pensions

Does the Secretary of State not agree that the delay that we are now experiencing is as painful as any failure to get matters right in the beginning? Does he not also agree that the signal he is sending—for example, to those waiting for the outcome of the ombudsman’s Equitable Life inquiry—will lead to people thinking that that might be overturned too, which would mean further inordinate delay, even after the many years that they have been waiting? Does the Secretary of State not realise that it is crucial that we now have closure on this issue, on an equitable basis and as fast as we can get it?
