Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Pensions: Automatic Enrolment.


Pensions: Automatic Enrolment

Can I be clear that the noble Lord is strongly supporting the automatic enrolment principle? There is all this talk about people not being aware of it, not supporting it, and so on. We have had the big review—the Turner review—and we have a policy to make sure that for the first time everybody has some buy-in through the company for which they work. It includes both employers and employees, and we have heard neither the noble Lord, Lord Kirkwood, whose speech I very much admired, nor the noble Lord, Lord Fowler, saying that we have to sell this harder despite some of the propaganda against it by the private insurance industry.
