Pensions Bill

We have had this debate just about every year since I re-involved myself in what I still, rather old-fashionedly, call social security matters. I am surprised that we are having that debate again in the context of this Bill. The noble Lord, Lord Oakeshott, will not be surprised to hear that our position on these Benches has not changed and I would be surprised if the position of government Ministers had changed, because I do not believe that it has.
