Part of Pensions Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 5:00 pm on 29 January 2008.
That was another helpful reply. The Minister outlined the three-stage strategy and said very clearly that there will be ample opportunity for employers to fulfil their duties. That is the sort of language that I was hoping to hear, and I know that employers’ organisations will have been grateful to have heard it. I am interested in how the legal defence of stupidity would work. I am not quite sure how that could be applied, but the Minister has been reassuring, so I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
