Welfare Reform Bill

I wonder whether it is only me who thinks that it is perhaps appropriate that on the fourth day of Committee we are starting at the beginning of page 6 of the Bill. Amendment 44 is, I hope, a simple point—although some of my simple points have elicited so much conversation on previous days that perhaps it is not as simple as all that. I would merely like the Minister to confirm that this is a reference to the phasing of age cohorts made necessary by the rising pension age. If this is the case, as I assume, could he please relate that to the benefits systems being restructured under this Bill and say if, as a result, there will be any difference in the benefits paid the individuals who fall into different cohorts—and, if so, why? New Section 2D(8)(d) says that, ""any reference to a person attaining pensionable age is … a reference to the time when a woman born on the same day as the man would attain pensionable age"." But where are the references? I could not find them earlier in the clause when I had a quick look through. I therefore assume that these references will be in the regulations flowing from the clause. Perhaps the Minister can help me out. I beg to move.
