Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

I am afraid that, in my view, the amendment is a bit lacking because it refers just to cash figures. Although I have every trust in the Government Actuary, cash figures by themselves are meaningless. They tell us anything only if they are put into context. For pay-as-you-go public service pension schemes, the relevant context, using shorthand, is the gross domestic product.
