Pensions Bill

I can try to. I offer a distinction between someone whose job it is to chair the board, to ensure that meetings are conducted properly and so on, and a chairman of an organisation who might have some responsibility for the strategic direction of that organisation and a leadership role. That is not the role that we see for the chair of the trustee corporation; we believe they should act collectively—I can see the noble Baroness is not convinced by this. In any event, as a practical matter, the Secretary of State will consult those who are already appointed, and that would include the chair but there would be no special consultation with the chair.
