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


Pensions Reform

The hon. Gentleman is right that there is huge concern in our constituencies about when the earnings link will be restored. Is he aware that the National Pensioners Convention has worked out that even if the link were to be restored by 2012, that would merely mean an extra £1.40 compared with the current provision? Should we not unite in the House to do something to help current pensioners who cannot afford to wait until 2012 or 2015?
