HC Deb 02 November 2000 vol 355 c567W
Mrs. Lait

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to offer teachers a stakeholder pension. [134372]

Mr. Wicks

All teachers have access to the good quality range of benefits provided by the teachers pension scheme. Employers will not, therefore, need to offer teachers a stakeholder pension. All employers should, however, be considering whether they need to offer access to a stakeholder scheme to any of their staff to ensure that no employee is denied the opportunity to make adequate pension provision.
