Written Evidence to be reported to the House.
Pensions Bill
4:18 pm
John Greenway (Ryedale, Conservative)
Unscrupulous smaller employers who might feel encouraged to persuade employees to opt out and thereby save money are a matter that has come up during our evidence sessions. I have not thought this through myself yet, but I wonder whether you share my sense that, by making it absolutely clear that employers do not give advice but only information, there might be a means of ensuring that it is illegal under the Bill for them to advise people to opt out. It is your clear intention that they should not be allowed to advise people to opt out so might that not be one mechanism that we can think and talk about in Committee?
