Pensions Reform

It would be helpful if the Secretary of State were to clarify the liabilities in relation to those who might be eligible for the financial assistance scheme but who fail to be so at present because of the restrictions placed on the scheme by the Government. When he and the Prime Minister originally made an announcement about it to the House, we were told that £15 billion would have to be set aside to meet the liabilities of those people who had lost their pensions. As I understand it, the Government have re-examined the figures, and the true amount is nearer £3 billion. Can he clarify how much it would cost to pay out to those people their rightful due?
