Pensions Reform

The Minister must not go on repeating those things. He knows very well, and he has heard me say clearly today, that our purpose in putting these issues into the public domain was to get them aired and to have a debate about them. I said clearly earlier that just because we were drawing attention to certain aspects of the package did not imply that we thought that they were wrong. It merely implied that we thought that they had not been given sufficient attention, they had not been discussed properly and they had not been understood by the public.
