I move amendment No. 40:

In page 9, after line 22, to insert the following:“11. The Pensions Act 1990 is amended by inserting a new section 48A as follows:
48A. An appeals mechanism for pension scheme members shall be put in place where trustees have decided upon reduced benefits for members, and such appeals mechanism shall ensure that any category of such pension scheme members have not been unfairly treated in any restructuring arrangement.”.”.
