Business question from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have an early debate on the Government’s policy towards pensioners? We have just concluded a four-day debate on the Budget, but the Government at no time explained why a £200 rebate was appropriate last year but not this year, when the council tax is even higher. Can we have an early debate so that Ministers can explain, to the House and to the nation’s pensioners, why all of next month’s increase in the state retirement pension has been wiped out by the removal of the rebate?
