Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill [HL].
Postal Services Bill [HL]
I am very grateful to the Minister for that extremely helpful explanation. Indexation is in part governed by law, is it not? Did we not debate a pensions order only the other day in Grand Committee on exactly that basis? Is the Minister suggesting that the Secretary of State, in consultation with the trustees, will exercise his undoubted power to go over and above the indexation if he wants? I suspect that it is extremely unlikely.
