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

I am always happy to talk to the hon. Gentleman about any problem in his constituency and to meet him and his constituents to cover that ground. We are making a commitment to improve the financial assistance scheme and the money will be there to support the extension. I sense today that people have warmly welcomed our proposals. We are trying to put right an injustice and today’s announcement will go a long way to resolving the issue.
