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


Occupational Pensions

As the hon. Gentleman has heard, I have been critical of the Government and I agree with all who say that this is a matter between the House of Commons and the Executive, but I would like to hear from him—lest he mislead anyone—why the Conservative party has officially said that none of its Front Benchers can sign a cross-party early-day motion on the matter because it might just incur some spending of public money. It would be helpful if the hon. Gentleman could clarify exactly the Conservative party position.
