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
It is precisely the complexity and constitutional dimensions to the case that have now to be resolved, because it is in a judicial setting. As a lawyer, the hon. Gentleman should know that. There is no easy or fast-track way through this. Nor is it true to say that it is not right and proper for a Government to consider exercising a right of appeal. The hon. Gentleman is a lawyer and he may have acted for Government Departments in the past. He must understand that it is entirely proper for the Government, in some cases, to exercise their right to appeal to a higher court for a ruling.
