Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Pensions Reform.


Pensions Reform

It is important to correct what the hon. Gentleman has said about us not accepting Turner’s recommendations on increasing the state pension age—[Interruption.] No, we have not brought it forward. If he reads the report carefully, he will see that Lord Turner mentions 2030 for modelling purposes. He did not recommend that the state pension age should rise in 2030. The hon. Gentleman is therefore wrong to say that we have brought that forward by five years. He needs to read the report more carefully.
