Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 January 2026

Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

I listened carefully to the Minister’s response, but I am not sure that he answered the question about why the Government need to take power to specify the sources of advice that scheme managers must take and whether that would result in a closed list of scheme advisers that had to be used in any event. Not only is that undesirable from a competition standpoint; it also seems likely to work against producing better returns longer term, because you will just ossify the situation as you find it at the point that the Government decide to make that decision.
