Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) 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 take the point that the amendment may be inappropriately and badly drafted but it is intended to apply to those daughters who are in work, paying national insurance and tax, and who have a child under 12. It would qualify them if they were not drawing down HRP because they are already covering themselves through NICs. That is the point about the double provision and why I did not think the amendment contained the error suggested by the noble Lord.
