Pensions

My Lords, the noble Baroness, who has a wide knowledge of pensions, is utterly mistaken in this respect. Staff are not retaining their benefits. The noble Baroness might also think of this: it is not me or my party urging that existing staff have their pension age increased but her Government in their White Paper. Factually, I fear she is wrong about the private sector, and I hope that when she comes to speak she will explain why the Government whom she supports propose in their pensions White Paper the exact policy that I have been advocating. I beg to move for Papers.
