Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) 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

That is, with respect, not the time limit that I was referring to. The fact is that the amendment contains the power to make regulations retrospectively. That retrospection is limited only to April this year, so in 10 years’ time, regulations could be made changing that six years to 10—or, indeed, 20—years. The problems are with the amendment, not the regulations.
