Clause 7
Pensions Bill
5:15 pm
Andrew Selous (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; South West Bedfordshire, Conservative)
These are two brief amendments that seek to clarify what is on the face of the Bill. Currently, subsection (3) deals with contributions being refunded, as does subsection (4), but it is not entirely clear that contributions are to be refunded to the job holder and the employer respectively, and that is all that the amendments seek to do. For the avoidance of doubt and possible litigation, when money is to be paid back, it is important that it is clear to whom it is going. I hope, therefore, that the two amendments will find favour with which ever Minister is to respond.
