I beg to move amendment No. 146, in clause 35, page 16, line 1, at end insert—

‘(f) a notice under section 72 of the Pensions Act 2004 (c. 35) (provision of information).’.

The amendment was tabled because it appeared that the list of notices to which a review may be applied appears to have left out the notice cited in clause 33(1)(d):

“a notice under section 72 of the Pensions Act 2004...(provision of information).”

I am sure the Minister will tell me there is a very good legal reason for that being left out, but I was curious when I compared clause 33, which sets out a full list of different compliance notices to which escalating penalties apply, with clause 35, in which the notice in clause 33(1)(d) has been left out. I am sure that I am about to be reassured by the Minister, but I thought that the issue was worth raising, as it is certainly not clear to me.
