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 thank the noble Lord for his support. I re-emphasise the point, which I hope I made, that the offence applies to a wilful breach of certain employer duties. An employer who does not comply because of genuine inadequacy will be extremely unlikely to be found guilty of wilfulness. The use of ““wilful”” ensures that if employers fail to fulfil their duties through haphazard administration or forgetfulness, they will not be criminalised under these provisions. It is important that we get that clear.
