Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 June 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
I support the amendment. I have listened with considerable interest to all the reasons why some of the previous amendments might not be wholly acceptable, but this amendment seems to contain some flexibility and some choice. As we heard, it is strongly supported by the Equal Opportunities Commission and other organisations. The fact that it could be brought in before 2010 is crucially important. I, too, hope very much that the Government will show some flexibility and accept the amendment.
