Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to her Department’s response to Freedom of Information request 378/2016, for what reasons transitional arrangements No. 22 and 23 of Table A have not been costed.

Table A shows all of the options considered by the Government during the passage of the Pensions Act 2011. At the time the options were prioritised for costing, and those which were less specific in scope were not costed.
