Oral answer to question provided on Friday, 25 September 2009 in the House of Commons, by Nicholas Brown (Labour), North East Regional Grand Committee.
Pensioner Poverty
- 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.
- 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?
