Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 March 2026

Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

Before the noble Lord sits down, can I ask him a question? The instrument says, “on the law”. We know that English law operates so that there are some obligations that are performable only by His Majesty’s Government, and other obligations that are accorded only into domestic law. He surely is not suggesting that obligations that go beyond domestic law are somehow to be brought within the guidance. If so, that would be a massive change in the law and well beyond anything that this group of people or the Secretary of State were permitted to do.
