As published
153 Right to guaranteed cash equivalent.
After section 93 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 there is inserted—
Salary related schemes: right to statement of entitlement.
93A (1) The trustees or managers of a salary related occupational pension scheme must, on the application of any member, provide the member with a written statement (in this Chapter referred to as a “statement of entitlement”) of the amount of the cash equivalent at the guarantee date of any benefits which have accrued to or in respect of him under the applicable rules.
(2) In this section—
“the applicable rules” has the same meaning as in section 94;
“the guarantee date” means the date by reference to which the value of the cash equivalent is calculated, and must be—
within the prescribed period beginning with the date of the application, and
within the prescribed period ending with the date on which the statement of entitlement is provided to the member.
(3) Regulations may make provision in relation to applications for a statement of entitlement, including, in particular, provision as to the period which must elapse after the making of such an application before a member may make a further such application.
(4) If, in the case of any scheme, a statement of entitlement has not been provided under this section, section 10 of the Pensions Act 1995 (power of the Regulatory Authority to impose civil penalties) applies to any trustee or manager who has failed to take all such steps as are reasonable to secure compliance with this section.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
