Pensions Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Butterfill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Pensions Bill.
A lot of the welcome changes that the Secretary of State has just been talking about represent a great improvement in the condition of women and will benefit women. However, there is one area where women are disbenefited: in relation to the Pension Protection Fund. As I understand it, on divorce, pensions paid from the Pension Protection Fund are not regarded as pensions. When is a pension not a pension? When it is compensation from the PPF. That means that those payments are not available for adjustment between the parties to a divorce. Will he do something about that?
