Clause 18
Pensions Bill
10:30 am
Nigel Waterson (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; Eastbourne, Conservative)
I am following what the hon. Gentleman says closely. He will obviously come on to the question of extra costs. Before he leaves the point that he is making, will he tell the Committee whether he has any concerns about moving away from the overall Turner settlement, which, as part of the package, settled on a 3 per cent. contribution from employers? This is not a pick-n’-mix exercise, as Lord Turner would have said if he had been asked during the evidence session. I think that he would have put it as, “A package that hangs together.”
