Proceeding contribution from Guy Opperman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 September 2014. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pension Schemes Bill.


Pension Schemes Bill

On behalf of my constituents in Northumberland, I wholeheartedly welcome this reform, which has been massively welcomed by those who currently have a pension. However, how will the Government ensure that most small and medium-sized enterprises offer defined-ambition pensions? There is a degree of concern, which is legitimately held, that the safer defined-contribution pensions, in which there is little or no risk, will continue to be offered, thereby reducing the impact of the defined-ambition pension. What are the incentives?
