Schedule 1 - The Pensions Regulator
Pensions Bill
11:00 am
Mr Malcolm Wicks (Minister for pensions, Department for Work and Pensions; Croydon North, Labour)
Amendment No. 72 is a technical amendment that removes a superfluous sub-paragraph. Paragraph 11(3) requires that at least one person on the appointments committee
''must be a person who is not a member of the Regulator.''
Sub-paragraph (4) allows that a person on the appointments committee
''may be a person who is not a member of the Regulator.''
Allowing on that committee people who are not members of the regulator is already achieved by sub-paragraph (3), so sub-paragraph (4) is unnecessary.
Amendment No. 73 is a similar technical amendment. It ensures that it is clear that where the
regulator delegates any functions to any member of staff or committee—save the determinations panel and the appointments committee—they are none the less exercised on behalf of the regulator.
Amendment agreed to.
