Proceeding contribution from Sally Keeble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
I take the hon. Gentleman’s point about the need for smoothing, but in addition to the basic state pension, many people will have some private savings or some form of private income for a second pension, or there will be various top-ups. It is almost certainly completely inaccurate to focus on one element of people’s income post-retirement and say that they will suffer for the rest of their lives because of this cliff edge, and it is misleading for the many women who will benefit from these changes.
