Pensions Bill

I am sorry that I cannot give a blow-by-blow retort to that. It seems to me entirely reasonable that all pensions, be they compensations or orders in transit, should be handled in the same way. In pension sharing, both parties contribute to the cost. In the situation that we are trying to create here, both parties contribute to the cost. In the transition to which government Amendment No. 130EM refers, both parties contribute to the cost. That has nothing to do with the general funding of the PPF but has everything to do with handling things as consistently as possible, basically because we want parties to divorce, not levy payers in general, to pay. That is roughly what I was trying to say.
