Pensions Bill

My Lords, the Minister said that, when considering the information that would be included in the annual report of the trustee corporation, the Government were going to wait for what PADA recommended. I was making a point about parliamentary accountability, on which PADA is not an expert. It might be an expert on very many things to do with setting up a personal accounts pension scheme, but I would not expect the information flows to Parliament to be within its competence. I would expect it to be within the competence of the Minister’s officials, so I would have expected him to give me a clearer assurance. Will he do that today?
