I propose to take Questions Nos. 198 to 200, inclusive, together.

All sections of the Pensions Act 1990 and the Pensions (Amendment) Act 1996 have been commenced. In relation to the Pensions (Amendment) Act 2002, section 3 of the Act has been commenced in full except in so far as it relates to the insertion of a new section 122 into the Pensions Act 1990. Sections 39 and 43 of the Pensions (Amendment) Act 2002 have also yet to be commenced. Section 39 provides for the insertion of a new section 56A into the Pensions Act 1990 while section 43 provides for the insertion of new sections 59D, 59E and 59F into the Pensions Act.
