The Chair is right. In light of what is going through other committees at the moment, this is vital for people who have been affected by the way pensions have been for same-sex couples compared with heterosexual couples or whomever. The timing is good. It is very important for the new members of the committee to get a feel for the real-life stories of how people have been treated and how that affects them. I would be delighted to see that come back to the committee again.
