Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that the average payment that employers make into final salary schemes is 14 per cent., and the average for defined-contribution schemes is 6 per cent., yet only 3 per cent. is being proposed for the personal account? Does not that raise the concern that everything needs to be done to make it easy for employers to automatically enrol people into those better schemes? What is he doing about the European rules that are creating such a problem for group personal pensions?
