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.

I do not have any information to hand on that. However, we have got the point that I was perhaps overegging this by saying it was the only thing, and I need to recognise that other factors were perhaps considered when it came to putting this restriction in place. There was no sinister purpose, it was simply to say that there was a huge task to be undertaken and to ensure that NEST’s systems and operations could actually handle this. We do not want to put excessive burdens on NEST so that it fails when so many are dependent on its success.
