Pensions Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sherlock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Pensions Bill.

I have a question to add to that. I am grateful for the Minister’s explanation as to why the Government feel they need to have some flexibility to deal with circumstances as yet unknown, but I do not think that the Minister addressed what the problem is with the specific amendment I moved. After all, the amendment does not seek to prevent the Government from having those powers; it simply says that the Government may not make regulations in such a way as to exclude categories of business such as small and medium-sized businesses from auto-enrolment. What is the Government’s particular problem with this amendment?
