Proceeding contribution from Anne Begg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
The Minister rightly highlighted the Government’s success in redistributing wealth to the poorest pensioners. Will he assure me that, whatever comes out of the discussions about the Turner report and the White Paper, the policy objective of ensuring that the poorest pensioners are the most looked after by the state will continue?
