1. a rule in an occupational pension scheme designed to integrate an occupational pension with the State pension, commonly known as "pensions clawback", is lawful (ie it is not unlawful indirect sex discrimination - a pensions clawback rule is one under which an amount equal to the current lower earnings limit for NI purposes is deducted from pensionable salary when calculating the amount of a pension)
   
2. a rule excluding employees from eligibility for membership of a pension scheme if their earning are less than the national insurance lower earnings limit, and who are therefore not eligible for any State Pension, is lawful.
