Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Pensions Reform.


Pensions Reform

The point made by my party’s amendment is that the White Paper omits any discussion on the central point. We talk about consensus, but consensus outside the House rests not on these proposals, but around the idea of a citizens pension. We wish to bring that approach to the House and to discuss it. We seem to be the last people standing in the House who are still talking about a citizens pension, but we will continue to do so.
