Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Chris Mullin (Labour). It was answered on Friday, 25 September 2009 on behalf of the North East Regional Grand Committee.
Pensioner Poverty
- Question
- May I ask the Minister whether the Government are still committed to restoring the link between pensions and earnings? I think our commitment is to put it in the next manifesto and hopefully implement it in 2012. Does that still stand good in the light of the discussion about savage cuts?
- Answer
-
The Government are not in favour of savage cuts—that is the policy of another political party—and, yes, we stand by the commitment that we have given.
