Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

I have had the benefit of meetings with the officials and Maggie Rae to discuss the amendments. It is fair to say that it involved the most technically difficult drafting that I have ever seen in the pensions Acts with which I have been involved. One would have liked the provisions to be included in 2004, but it was impossible because we were building PPF. It was not appropriate last year. At least it has come in Committee and not on Report or at Third Reading.
