Clause 245 - Power to amend enactments relating to pensions
Civil Partnership Bill [Lords]
2:30 pm
Mr John Bercow (Buckingham, Conservative)
I apologise in advance if I am being slow in picking up the hon. Gentleman's argument. Amendment No. 180 is clearly about enshrining the power of retrospection. Is the hon. Gentleman telling the Committee that, on the whole, he thinks that, in relation to contracted-out arrangements operated by the private sector, good
practice will tend to prevail but that the purpose of his amendment is to adopt a belt-and-braces approach?
