Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
The hon. Gentleman is right. We also agree with the consensus—possibly the only part of the consensus with which we agree. However, in our view the private account will work only in conjunction with the citizen’s pension; otherwise the problems inherent in means-testing arise. Why save when one will lose some of the savings through the operation of means-testing?
