Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
The restoration of the earnings link and measures to increase both simplicity and intelligibility are welcome. I think that the right hon. Gentleman would accept that the overall litmus test or yardstick for the Bill should be whether means-testing will be reduced. What is his estimate of the scale of the prospective reduction over a 10-year period and a 20-year period?
