Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 December 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2007.


Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2007

Perhaps, in view of that very impressive but not very happy explanation, I should rephrase my question. Is the Minister saying that the whole package—I accept that it was a package—made no difference to the income stream of pension schemes? The noble Lord also had a little political go at the sins, as he sees them, of my forebears as Ministers in a Conservative Government. Of course, the Chancellor’s mistake was to suddenly chop it all off at its roots rather than continuing a gradual decline.
