Pensions Bill

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

The short answer is that it is not easy. As the noble Lord will well know, given his experience as a distinguished Minister in the previous Government, it is not easy precisely to craft provision in those areas. We will seek to produce further examples by Report, following the responses received to the consultation. However, I can certainly assure the noble Lord that none of the responses has suggested that small employers should be excluded from the scheme. I know that is at the heart of the concern and, I hope, is at the heart of the reassurances which I have sought to give.
