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

I honestly think that this has gone on for quite long enough. The Minister has done his level best to produce an answer. He is probably right that there is a definition of the term ““core pension”” buried somewhere in regulations. I do not think that there has ever been a definition of ““expected pension””. I know what I think it means: what the pension’s contract actually said that it would be. But then we have this extraordinary conflation of ““core expected pension””. That is certainly where my confusion comes in—and, if I may speak, for once, for the noble Lord, Lord Oakeshott, perhaps it is where his confusion comes in. We await next week. I promise the Minister that if he thinks that he has had hell now, he has not had half of what he is going to get next week.
