Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on The Economy and Welfare Reform.


The Economy and Welfare Reform

I had better read out again what the right hon. Member for Birkenhead, the first pensions Minister in this Government, said, and the hon. Gentleman should pay attention this time:"““when Labour came to office we had one of the strongest pension provisions in Europe and now . . . we have some of the weakest””." With the greatest respect to the hon. Gentleman, I have more respect for views of the right hon. Member for Birkenhead on pension policy than for his.
