Let me now delve into our concerns. The first area of concern is consultation. We need clarity on who has been engaged and, notably, who has not. Many admitted bodies in the Local Government Pension Scheme, for example, might see CDC as a useful midpoint between the Local Government Pension Scheme and DC upon an affordable exit, yet it appears that they were not consulted. Can the Minister comment on that? As this policy expands from a single scheme to what could become a diverse market with unconnected multi-employer connections, transparency on consultation stages and milestones becomes more, not less, important.
