Clause 28
Pensions Bill
4:00 pm
Paul Rowen (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; Rochdale, Liberal Democrat)
I think that the Minister puts the point well. Yes, there are advantages either way, but in the context of what we are trying to do, “may” is probably the right way to go. To me, what we are trying to achieve is covered by subsection (2), which states clearly that when the compliance notice is issued the employer must respond. Given that, what might be in the compliance notice should be left to the discretion of the Pensions Regulator.
