Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

What concerns us in particular is the proposed approach to parliamentary scrutiny. The initial regulations would be subject to the affirmative procedure, but subsequent changes to those conditions could be made using the negative procedure. This means that Parliament would have less oversight over later changes, even where those changes might materially affect member protections. So Amendment 31 would remove this new regulatory framework in order to probe the Government’s thinking.
