Pensions Bill

moved Amendment No. 106: 106: Clause 50, page 24, line 25, leave out paragraph (a) The noble Lord said: We now move to the thorny subject of compliance notices. The Explanatory Notes give an example of cases where the employer might be required to change an advertisement or an application form for a job, which is fair enough. However, that is surely covered in subsection (2)(b). Paragraph (a), however, is a little different. It states that the employer must remedy the contravention. Will the Minister again tell me how employers are expected to remedy such a contravention without changing the application form or advertisement? Surely they would have to replace their original paperwork and explain to the potential employee that the first form had been sent in error. That, in my book, would be a remediation, but perhaps Clause 50 has a wider effect than I have supposed or is suggested in the Explanatory Notes. I hope that the Minister can help me. I beg to move.
