Proceeding contribution from Lord Tunnicliffe (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

I am terribly sorry, but as I understand it, the option is in front of us. Either we set criteria about average salary schemes to go into the Bill or we will have a wide-ranging reserve power to be exercised only through the affirmative procedure. Our view is that because they are so unlikely to be used, we would like to stick with the powers in the Bill, but on the condition that the affirmative procedure is used.
