Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Occupational Pensions.

Occupational Pensions

Does my hon. Friend share my surprise, and that of others, at the Government’s over-reaction? In asking ““What must we do now to make good the shortfall in pensions?””, the parliamentary ombudsman merely requested that the best brains should be put together to try to come up with a better scheme. Given what some of those observing our debate would consider to be the mildness of that recommendation, was my hon. Friend as surprised as I was at the Government’s excessive response?
