Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

I cannot give a precise answer to that, but I will check. I can see that it may be helpful if it can be published, but I am not sure that I can give that commitment without checking. Perhaps I may take this opportunity to say a little more about the qualifying test and how the employer duty is discharged, which was raised by the noble Lord. Employers and schemes will receive plain English guidance on how to apply the qualifying test and to discharge the employer duties. We will consult on the content and format of the guidance. We have research under way to understand the information needs of small employers to ensure that we communicate with them in the most sensible way.
