Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Pensions Reform.


Pensions Reform

The hon. Gentleman makes an important point about the need to have a stable and enduring consensus, rather than simply creating one now that then has the opportunity to fall apart after subsequent elections. Does he agree that one of the merits of some sort of independent commission, which he is discussing at the moment, is that it would also help to build public trust in the consensus because lack of public trust in the pensions system is one of the biggest problems that we face?
