Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
I declare an interest as a member of such a scheme, although I have not reached state retirement age and therefore would not benefit from the guaranteed minimum pensions element. Does the Minister believe that the RPI is still the appropriate measure for uprating the GMP element, not least because beneficiaries have a different index profile, in that they spend more of their income on heating and other elements of daily costs, which would significantly boost the RPI figure?
