This was one of the biggest pieces of legislation in recent years and its intention was clear. However, it does not seem to me that the intention is being followed through. The pensions of new recruits will be calculated based on career average salary rather than final salary. They are contributing under a different regime. The money they have paid since joining has gone elsewhere and the Government will make it up to them at some time. They were entitled to believe those contributions were going into a managed fund. Mr. Watt knows that.
