Pensions Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Pensions Bill.

Yes. The reason is that that is the equivalent of the private pension provision, which is a purchase. We are drawing a distinction here between public provision and private provision. With the pulling into a single tier, that is where the line is drawn between the two. As private pensions offer lump sums, that is where we would expect people to be taking them.
