Proceeding contribution from Peter Bottomley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

The hon. Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston (Andrew Miller) did not read out paragraph (1)(3) of new schedule 9, which states:""The IPSA may, after consulting the Minister for the Civil Service… remove a trustee of the fund"." It then refers to paragraph (3), of which sub-paragraph (4) states:""No provision of a scheme under this paragraph is to be construed as restricting the powers of the trustees under paragraph 2(1)."" Now is not the time to become discursive about what that may or may not mean, but I know of no pension scheme, outside the civil service, where the Minister for the civil service can be the only person who comments on a proposal to dismiss one or all trustees. I am therefore grateful to the Justice Secretary for saying that he will think more about the matter.
