Clause 2
Pensions Bill
10:45 am
Andrew Selous (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; South West Bedfordshire, Conservative)
This is a brief Government amendment, with which we agree. It is reassuring to find that the mighty Government machine with its expert advisers occasionally gets things wrong. If my hon. Friends and I were to table amendments that the Minister told us were not technically correct, we would not take that as a stunning rebuttal, given that even Ministers, with all the systems at their disposal, occasionally get things wrong.
The proposed amendment is entirely sensible and provides important clarification, as far as employers are concerned.
