Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (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 do not know, but I can check. This is an extremely serious matter, which we do not take lightly. It is vital that the Government offer a role model for employers. The debate that my noble friends Lady Turner and Lady Dean have precipitated draws attention to the wider issue ofhow to encourage people in a changing working environment to have the opportunity of not just one career but a number. We make it possible for older people to access skills and training; we have a flexible working environment where they can make the most of their skills and experience to benefit themselves as well as the economy.
