Pensions Bill

If the noble Lord is asking whether the Government would support the idea of being able to pay nine years after a relevant year, then obviously that is not a proposition that we have considered. We have no costings on that, robust or otherwise, but, again, it would move us away from encouraging people to pay on a reasonably expeditious basis. It seems to me that six years allows a reasonable amount of leeway but that nine years moves further away from that principle.
