Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 January 2026

Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

As a matter of first principle, we should seek to understand and fix the cause of the problem, not override fiduciary judgment. Resorting to powers that mandate investment into assets that trustees do not judge to be attractive is not a shortcut: it is irresponsible and reckless, and it sets a deeply dangerous precedent for political interference in pension investment. Let me be very clear about that.
