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

Pensions Bill

I totally agree with the hon. Lady that it is very important to get younger people to consider their future and their pensions. However, does she regret that the Bill will do nothing for existing pensioners, 3 million of whom will be dead before they gain any discernible advantage from the changes being introduced?
