Social Security, Occupational Pension Schemes and Statutory Payments (Consequential Provisions) Regulations 2007

I am interested in the noble Lord’s views on why it took so long to get the draft regulations out. Perhaps he could explain what changes were made between the point at which the first draft regulations were available, which was some time before the Bill was finally passed, and August, when they were finally published. Were there a lot of difficulties between the version that was produced before the Bill and the one that finally came out? It is my understanding that the issues were all settled.
