Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
My hon. Friend is making a powerful speech and has reached the crux of the issue. If the Government would only uprate pensions in line with earnings, not the retail prices index, it would help many pensioners and, over the years, remove pensioner poverty.
