Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 March 2026

Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the Minister for her reply. What she describes sounds very good in theory. My amendment is designed to address the issue that that theory does not work in practice in the kind of pensions world that we have right now. There will be improvements, but they are not in place yet. There is no compensation for a member whose pot is moved away to a worse scheme. They may have higher fees or they may have lower fees. They may get better performance, they may get worse performance. It should be incumbent upon all of us to make sure that there is as much protection as possible. If somebody has not paid in for years, the three-year limit will be fine because they will have exceeded it. Therefore, I wish to test the opinion of the House on Amendment 49.
