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


Pensions Bill

My Lords, the power would and should be used. I qualify that by saying only that the whole design of the scheme and all the arrangements that surround it are still being developed, but I see no reason why it should not be as the noble Baroness wishes. No one is trying to hide anything here—she is looking askance at me. We need to ensure that there is transparency, which is clearly the objective here. Indeed, to do otherwise would in a sense be quite impossible, given the information from the scheme that would need to be available to members in any event.
