In Committee, I put forward two amendments to extend the indexation of compensation under FAS and the PPF to cover both pre-1997 and post-1997 service, and to reimburse members for the annual increases they should rightly have received. After the Minister for Pensions responded that the amendments could not work, I went back to the drawing board—we never give up in Wales, do we?—and sought advice to address his concerns. New clause 6, which is the result of that advice, would require the Secretary of State to make regulations to provide for that indexation.
