Conservatives vote against auto-enrolment

Posted on Mar 04, 2010

The Conservatives have unsuccessfully voted against the draft Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes (Automatic Enrolment) Regulations 2010, which set out the structure for auto-enrolment.

Conservative Pensions Spokesman Nigel Waterson commented that his party was frustrated that the NEST administration contract had been signed ahead of the general election, despite Government promises that no such long-term contracts would be signed.
