Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 May 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pensions Reform.

Pensions Reform

We are aware of the issue to which my hon. Friend draws attention. The state pension age will reach 68 in 40 years’ time and I am confident that his constituency and others will have a matching rise in longevity to meet that. The Turner commission suggested that we consider the issue of when pension credit becomes available, and the White Paper makes it clear that we are doing so, because that proposal might go some way towards addressing the concerns of my hon. Friend and others.
