Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 February 2026
Debate
Pension Schemes BillContribution
There were two debates in Westminster Hall, which simply laid out the facts of the case. In response, the Government ran down the clock and a constructive conclusion was never reached. One Minister even tried to excuse the lack of warning and false reassurances given by the GAD to encourage members to transfer out their accrued rights in 1996 by saying that the GAD note was already eight pages long and could not include everything. Surely, this loss of Treasury backing should have had a prominent warning.
