Most people who save for a pension make these monthly contributions and it is difficult to nail down a value when your pay is up and down like a fiddler’s elbow, so people are cautious. But that caution should not be a reason why they cannot take advantage and miss out on the opportunity at the end of the year. Whether they are a civil servant or an ice-cream seller, the ability to take advantage of salary sacrifice should be equally available to one and all, otherwise we discriminate against those at the bottom of the salary range who are striving the hardest. That is what I seek to remedy through these amendments.
