Proceeding contribution from Mike O'Brien (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

I agree that it is important that the rules are introduced quickly. We will use the negative procedure, and we will seek to move as quickly as possible as we want them to be in place by the autumn. The House must have an opportunity to debate that, if it wishes to do so. However, although I agree with the hon. Gentleman on this, the consequence will be that we will not have a consultation period; we will just introduce the rules. We will be happy to share them with Opposition spokespersons in advance.
