Proceeding contribution from James Purnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
The hon. Gentleman accepts the point that I made—at least earnings will be used in those situations—and he knows full well that the link to earnings means that the pension will go up much faster than inflation and be worth about twice what it would otherwise be worth by 2050. So I hope that he will not be scaremongering unjustifiably.
