Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.


Social Security

I appreciate the nobility of the Government’s aim of improving pensioner incomes, but does the Minister understand the concerns of thousands of pensioners in my constituency who see the system as a disincentive to save? The system also sends the message to the younger generation that they need not save because the state will look after them in their retirement.
