Amendment made: 6, in clause 27, page 17, line 38, leave out from beginning to end of line 40 and insert “The notice must specify—”.—(Guy Opperman.)

This amendment would remove provision requiring a notice from the Pensions Regulator to collective money purchase scheme trustees to include a requirement to assess the extent to which the scheme is operating in a manner fair to all members.

Before I ask the Committee to reach a decision on clause 46, does the right hon. Member for East Ham wish to press amendment 25 to a vote?

I am very grateful for the support that has been expressed and for the points that the Minister has made. I take his point that there is a consultation under way. I very much hope that the regulator will decide to require information on diversity from the schemes that are set up, and that it will continue to do so as the trustee board develops. However, at this stage I will not press the amendment to a vote.

Clause 46 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clauses 47 and 48 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
