Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Shailesh Vara and Jeremy Quin

Monday 11th July 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Vara]

The hon. Gentleman raises a good point. We are committed to transparency and openness, and, when opportunity allows, to putting them into place in legislation.

[Jeremy Quin (Horsham) (Con)]

I congratulate the Minister on the successful roll-out of auto-enrolment. What more could be done to help the self-employed to engage in the process?

[Mr Vara]

We are working very closely with the Pensions Regulator to ensure the whole programme of auto-enrolment is easily understood, in particular for self-employed people and those who have one or two employees, so that the rules are in very clear easy-to-use language on the website and in offline literature and any other offline facilities.
