I am not sure that a draft Bill is necessarily the way forward. The noble Lord, Lord Newby, had some suspicions about legislation in his previous comments, saying that if we were to suggest, for example, a participation level or retirement age, the House of Commons might seek to amend that. I would like to see what this House can come up with for agreement first and see how we take that forward. I can give an assurance to the Committee that I do not want this issue to drop, and I am grateful that there is such a momentum now behind further reform.
