Pensions Bill

I would like to take this opportunity to thank parliamentary counsel for all the work that they have done on the Bill. I understand that the hon. Member for Eastbourne (Mr. Waterson) once feared ““death by seminar””. I hope that he has not felt that tonight's debate was ““death by amendment””. However, the number of amendments before us, although large, reflected the approach of consensual policy reform. I hope that we will continue in that vein and achieve that consensus in order to effect positive change to transform the British savings system for the future. Lords amendment agreed to. Lords amendments Nos. 179 to 289 agreed to [some with Special Entry].
