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 wonder whether my noble friend can help me. He is saying that whatever we do for employees must apply to employers as well, that we cannot separate the two and that we need both the contributions to run in parallel. How does he connect that to the previous argument we had on people working over the age of 60 where employers continue to pay national insurance but employees will not be allowed to pay national insurance contributions when they are past formal retirement age? We make a disjunction in that case, why can we not make a disjunction in this one?
