80.Section 7 amends section 6(1)(b) of the PA 2008 to stipulate that automatic re-enrolment will not happen more frequently than once in every period of two years and nine months. The two years and nine months interval applies to the employer rather than the jobholder.

81.This section is relevant only where the Secretary of State chooses to make provision under section 6(1)(b) rather than section 6(1)(a).
