Mr. Frank Moran:

It is disbelief that a Department could make a comment on that. The legislation is not just about pensions. It is about equality. It is flipping the coin to say, when in fact the only people who have not had access to occupational pension schemes have been spouses and children of same-sex couples, that this might end up in the unequal treatment of those who already have an open book. There is no potential. The Department used the word "possibility". What possibility? There is no justification in that. It is very annoying and disingenuous to people in my situation. I speak on behalf of a lot of people for whom this might apply.
