Proceeding contribution from David Laws (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.

Pensions Bill

I shall give way when I have finished my point. As the hon. Lady knows, some people have enormous debts, which they may be paying at high interest rates. They will not want to save money in an account that gives them no return when they need to pay off debts on which they are paying interest rates of 30, 40 or 50 per cent. I apologise to the hon. Lady for keeping her waiting.
