Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (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

Effectively, it would arise from the latter circumstance. The proposition that there is no one in the UK who would declare that they had earnings in respect of the disregard does not seem particularly plausible either. We are dealing with hypothetical examples here. I acknowledge that getting hold of the figures might be difficult, but to assume that there would be no cost involved is not reasonable either.
