Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 November 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Welfare Reform and Incapacity Benefit.
Welfare Reform and Incapacity Benefit
I am sorry to interrupt the hon. Gentleman, and I know that other hon. Members want to speak, but I am very struck by his request that we revisit the deal on public sector pensions. The hon. Member for Sutton and Cheam (Mr. Burstow) condemned the Government for proposing that new entrants—let alone existing scheme members—should have their pension age increased to 65. What is his view on that response? His position seems totally inconsistent with it.
