Proceeding contribution from Mark Pritchard (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
Someone aged 50 or 60 in a construction job may rightly think that they cannot continue to undertake heavy manual labour until they are 70, so they will try to retrain. However, as a result of the Government’s cuts in further and higher education funding for elderly people, they cannot do so, and thus cannot escape the trap highlighted by my hon. Friend.
