Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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 sorry. I hope that the noble Lord will give me the chance to explain. Certainly for existing pensioners, their rights have already accrued and are set out in their entitlements. As I said, those will simply become payable from the new scheme rather than from the existing scheme. I referred to those in current employment who have accrued rights and who will likely gain future rights as well by virtue of their continuing employment. I am sorry if I did not make that clear.
