Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that one of the most significant disincentives for people on low incomes to make provision for their retirement is the spread of means-testing in the pension system? People on low incomes are likely to be much more affected by means-testing, so the current system is much less likely to encourage them to make provision for their retirement.
