Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.

Pensions Bill

The last time that there was unanimity in the House on a pensions Bill was when Barbara Castle introduced the state earnings-related pension scheme. Ten years later, however, the Conservative Government reneged on that unanimity and virtually wrecked SERPS. Will the hon. Gentleman give an undertaking that for the foreseeable future any Conservative Government will respect the unanimous decisions that I expect the House to make on the Bill?
