Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Occupational Pensions.

Occupational Pensions

I welcome the fact that the Secretary of State is looking to review the financial assistance scheme. Some of the most difficult cases include some of my constituents who were involved in the APW scheme. Those under the age of 50, but close to it at the key point, some of whom had transferred substantial sums from other pension schemes into that scheme, are still facing losses of more than 80 per cent. of their previous pension entitlement. Can he assure the House that such cases will be taken into account in the review?
