Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.

Pensions Bill

My Lords, before my noble friend leaves that point, can he assure me that the Government do not intend to allow the situation to continue where the very people whom we are all seeking to help—the low paid, especially women who have very modest savings—find themselves losing £2,000, £4,000 or £6,000 because we cannot agree on what should be done? It seems to me that there are perfectly good ways straightforwardly to do so. Surely my noble friend cannot be saying that the Government will allow that money to be lost to them in perpetuity.
