Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
Is the Minister comfortable with the fact that, according to Government figures, about 1.5 million pensioners are not claiming their due pension credit? NGOs that specialise in looking after older people have suggested that the poorest and most in need are not getting the pension credit. Will the Minister re-examine his claim in that light?
