Business question from Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The Turner commission on pensions is due to publish its report soon. May we have an assurance that there will be not only a statement when that happens but an early debate in the House on an important matter to the pensioners of today and tomorrow? It appears from reports today that the Chancellor is already ruling out any link between pension rises and earnings. When in opposition, the Labour party supported restoring the link, which is vital for the future prosperity of Britain’s pensioners.
