Proceeding contribution from Derek Wyatt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 May 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pensions Reform.
Pensions Reform
I thank my right hon. Friend for the courtesy that he and his predecessors have extended in the past four years regarding the financial assistance scheme, and for increasing it from £400 million to £2 billion—an astonishing sum. He has said today that he will look again at those who do not yet qualify who will be aged under 50. Can he tell us what percentages of people above and below the age of 50 will qualify for the FAS?
