HL Deb 07 December 1993 vol 550 cc65-6WA
Lord Kilmarnock

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they will issue discussion papers on the Report of the Pension Law Review Committee chaired by Professor Goode; what period is envisaged for consultation with interested parties; and when they expect to introduce legislation to reform the law affecting occupational pension funds.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Social Security (Viscount Astor)

The first five papers in a series of discussion papers on non-state pensions were published on Friday 3rd December 1993 as a basis for detailed discussions with interested parties. Comments on these papers have been requested by 14th January 1994. The results of this exercise will help to formulate our detailed policy proposals. Copies of the papers have been placed in the Library.
