Pensions Bill

I am grateful for what the Minister has said. He gave a full answer to my first amendment; I must go away, read it carefully and think on it. While I was less in agreement with what he said on the second amendment I will certainly be happy to follow the path he laid out and discuss these matters with the Pensions Regulator. I look forward to spending my holidays in such a blissful state. I must apologise to him that I am now going to desert the Committee to defend the honour of the Lords against the Commons on the river. I am sure he will manage the rest of the Bill without my help.
