Proceeding contribution from Terry Rooney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 May 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pensions Reform.
Pensions Reform
I congratulate my right hon. Friend on the comprehensive reform package that he has brought forward today. Can he confirm that he will not abolish the new deal to finance the earnings link, and that that link will not last for only four years? More seriously, getting a consensus in the House should be fairly easy, but we have had consensus in the past, and it lasted about three years—so it is much more important to get a consensus among the general public. What education and promotion programme does he envisage to get all the messages across to the general public?
