Lord McDonald made mention of acceding to pension rights during last night's Newsnight Interview. He went on to say [with some confidence] that the Gvmnt are likely to take a 3 month delay [to allow them to amplify the detail of why PPP's going to be safe] before sending it back to the Lords again as he expects them to have got it out of their system by then (ok i'm para-phrasing a bit).
Deep Joy !!
