Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) 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

I was not going to comment on that House of Lords faux pas, but I point out that towards the end of my few words I asked the Minister who the stakeholders are in this case. In other words, who are the Government holding discussions with? Which option currently looks more likely? In other words, will the Government remove the clause from the Bill, or make the order affirmative? Whichever they decide, do they expect to be ready by Report stage? I understand that Report stage is currently planned for some time after the Summer Recess. I have not had confirmation, but that is the rumour. The Minister might be able to confirm that.
