HC Deb 19 July 1993 vol 229 c73W
Mr. David Shaw

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what representations he has received From the working group on pensions and divorce appointed by the Pensions Management Institute in agreement with the Law Society; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hague

The working group's report was published on 19 May. Departmental officials have recently met Sir Alec Atkinson, chairman of the working group, to discuss matters arising from the report.

We are studying the working group's report with interest. We are awaiting the report of the Pension Law Review Committee, chaired by Professor Goode, which may also make recommendations on these and related issues. The committee is due to report by the end of September this year.
