Proceeding contribution from Lord Tunnicliffe (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

In essence, we considered it inappropriate to have two duties on the same employer. When this scheme comes about, the employer will have a duty to auto-enrol people into an appropriate scheme. There will no longer be a necessity for the duty under the original Act. Therefore, Clause 76 removes that duty, so that employers do not have two duties. The only requirement that is retained is that people who are already enrolled in such schemes will retain their right for contributions to be paid through their payroll. On Question, amendment agreed to. Clause 76, as amended, agreed to. Clause 77 [““Employee””, ““worker”” and related expressions]:
