Pensions Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Pensions Bill.
My Lords, I will certainly withdraw the amendment, but it was not the fact of secondary legislation I was querying; it was the timetable for the preparation. What is happening yet again is that the Bill comes first while the consideration of what is to go into the secondary legislation is coming second. That was my complaint. However, I am glad that at last the income sector of the review, led by the DWP, is to meet by the end of the month. That may or may not make the situation even worse, because the Bill is due to be finished in your Lordships’ House by the end of the month, and may possibly be on the statute book. Who is to tell? I am, as I said, glad that thinking is at last progressing on this issue, and we will get a resolution in due course. I shall look forward to the statutory instrument. May I anticipate that it will arrive by 1 April?
