Clause 27
Pensions Bill
Public Bill Committees, 29 January 2008, 4:00 pm
Andrew Selous (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; South West Bedfordshire, Conservative)
Could the Minister kindly explain to the Committee why the explanatory notes say that
“no private right of action for breach of statutory duty”
may arise against an employer? I am curious as to why that private right of action is deliberately struck out by clause 27, when on the face of it, it would seem a reasonable step for an aggrieved party to take.
