Viscount Thurso (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 April 2026

Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I will speak on Motion K and my Motion K1. I have rehearsed the arguments around this question fully both in Committee and on Report, so will therefore not do so again. I listened very carefully to what the Minister said and I am extremely grateful to her for the engagement that I have had with her on several occasions, when her sympathy was obvious, even if her ability to do something about it was clearly limited. When the time comes I will not move that amendment, but I will certainly take up the offer of a meeting. I hope I can move from the tea and sympathy that have been so evident to having a little power of persuasion over the Minister and demonstrating that this is a particularly exceptional case that needs to be dealt with. I thank the Minister and her team for their engagement, and I will not be moving my Motion when the time comes.
