Schedule 6
Pensions Bill
10:30 am
James Purnell (Minister of State (Pensions Reform), Department for Work and Pensions; Stalybridge and Hyde, Labour)
May I say what a pleasure it is to serve under your chairmanship, Mr. Gale, and to have a majority of the Government Members in attendance to discuss amendments that could be described as important or, indeed, niggling? As we have said a number of times—in fact, ad nauseam—the Bill establishes an advisory authority, bringing on board relevant knowledge and professional expertise. Are visual aids allowed in the Committee, Mr. Gale?
