Proceeding contribution from Joan Humble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

I thank my right hon. Friend. I speak as one who fully supports the legislation. My right hon. Friend will recall the Work and Pensions Committee's suggestion that the Government examine the system in Sweden, where people receive an orange envelope every year containing details of their entitlement in relation to a variety of pensions. Six or seven years ago, the Government legislated for an annual report on pension projections. Will he consider adopting the Committee's recommendation in order to reassure people about the benefits of investing in personal accounts and pensions, and to proceed with his reforms?
