We need to ensure that whatever protections we can provide are accepted and that they are as robust as possible. I will not oppose the Bill and hope it will go further. That is why on Committee Stage I expressed my disappointment that the Mercer report which was a review of the pension scheme wind-up priorities and which the Minister had commissioned had not been published. When I received it, albeit late in the day, I was able to use it to examine my proposals to see whether they complied with any of the models Mercer had run and whether the Minister's proposal was a replica of some of the numbers and figures run.
