Pensions Bill

My grouping list includes Amendments Nos. 12 and 13 in this group. If they have been ungrouped, I stand to be corrected. The Committee showed me great indulgence on the previous amendment, so I shall very briefly say that I support this amendment. However, the difficulty is that this provision remains very fluid. None of us doubts the intention and good will of the Government in this respect, but it depends on the carer’s strategy coming through and being embodied in regulation. Indeed, it depends on Ministers in the department—who may or may not be the same people after any reshuffle—being persuaded of the same position. We have seen the Government desirably change their views on this during Committee, and I would like to see that embedded in the Bill. However, I accept that this may, more appropriately, be a matter for regulation, so can my noble friend show us the draft regulations that are due to be published within, say, six months of the Bill, so that we can at least have the assurance that the intention is covered if not in the Bill, in regulations? If my noble friend feels unable to accept the amendment as currently described, can she at least help us on that?
