Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2007

I am helpfully reminded that the terms are already defined in regulations. Perhaps I can undertake to provide noble Lords with a copy of those regulations so that the terms are clear to them. We did touch on some core pension issues: a core pension obviously excludes some of the provisions; a routine pension might survive benefits; the extent to which there will continue to be uprating; and lump sum payments. The core pension does not typically cover that, but there is a definition in regulations and I will undertake to ensure that they are brought to the attention of Members of the Committee. If that proves insufficient, they can come back and we will find another way to make it absolutely clear to the wider world what these definitions are. But we are not trying to hide or cover up anything on this, particularly as I am reminded that it is already there in the regulations.
