Savings (Government Contributions) Bill (Second sitting)

Jane Ellison Excerpts

Tuesday 25th October 2016 Public Bill Committees

[Jeremy Quin]

You would not stand against the principle of doing this, but you would like to do more things— I hear that.

[Jane Ellison (Battersea) (Con)]

Q I have just a brief comment. Does Mr Davies have any modelling or research that he has done to support his concerns around the interaction of these products and auto-enrolment? It would be useful if we could have that.

Bryn Davies: The short answer is that I do not and would not pretend that I did. If I were the only person saying this, I would be worried, but there is a broad swathe of opinion, not least including at least one Member in your own party, expressing these fears, so I do think they need to be taken seriously.

[The Chair]

Order. If there are no further questions, I thank the witness. Will he now make way for the next panel, please? Thanks very much.
