Business question from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 March 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate on the rights of people to work after the age of retirement, at 65 years old, if they are fit and wish to do so? My right hon. and learned Friend will agree that it is wrong for employers, including the House authorities, to force people to retire. Supervisors have been telling employees in this House that they cannot work beyond 65, but who has the authority to give the supervisors the right to tell people that they cannot work beyond that age?
