Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 June 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.

Pensions Bill

In essence, that is the thrust of the Government’s position. Of course, I accept that the vast majority of employers wish to be compliant and to engage in this legislation positively. Automatic enrolment is fundamental to the legislation and that process will bring with it information that is provided to the jobholder, who can then decide whether to stay in or opt out. If one misses the loop of automatic enrolment, there is a real risk that a fundamental part of this legislation will be undermined.
