Pensions Bill

I can see that those circumstances might arise, and I do not see that they would be precluded. This clause says right at the start that, "““An employer contravenes this section if the employer takes any action for the sole or main purpose of … inducing a worker””," and so on. If they originally took that action to induce a worker, the matter has been rectified and the worker has been enrolled but then decides to opt out, I do not fundamentally see a problem with that. There would be issues regarding evidence and the facts and circumstances of a specific case, but the opt-out should not be precluded in the circumstances the noble Lord suggests.
