Pensions Bill

We are getting into semantics. It is a different form of notice. In some circumstances it may be appropriate to substitute a new notice. For example, the regulator may issue a compliance notice for failure to auto-enrol an employee, but if that employee leaves while the notice is under review, the regulator may then choose to revoke the compliance notice and issue an unpaid contributions notice. Varying a notice might comprise changing the amount of unpaid contributions. There is a distinction, which we could debate for the next hour or so if we wished. However, in substance, the point made in the noble Lord’s amendment chimes with the position taken by the Constitution Committee. We shall need to engage further with a range of issues and return to them on Report.
