I accept that. Strong language will have to be used to encourage young people to take out pensions. A combination of Government employees and individuals are involved. I was horrified by the comments of the nice man who is head of the Small Firms Association who said pensions had nothing to do with his members. While one would think from his comments that employees were robots, they are real people who will need pensions. The Minister should forget sexy images and the physical, tangible results of his tremendous work and make a success of his pensions brief. If he succeeds, people will still be singing his praises in 40 years.
