Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.

Pensions Bill

moved Amendment No. 110EA: 110EA: Clause 60, page 31, line 4, leave out from ““by”” to end of line 5 and insert ““the trustees”” The noble Baroness said: Under Clause 60, there are to be panels of employers and members. We fully support that but find it difficult to understand why, since the effect of Clause 60(2) is that there should be these panels, the Secretary of State cannot just leave it to the trustees to get on with operating them. What ongoing interest will the Secretary of State have in determining the composition and functions of the panels? Surely that is the natural territory of the trustees, so my amendment is designed to remove the Secretary of State from the details of those panels. I beg to move.
