Proceeding contribution from David Laws (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

We are very entertained by these parts of the Minister’s speech, but before he wraps up his comments—we never know when he is going to sit down—will he explain the point that he left unresolved earlier? What is the difference between the proposal that he makes today, for the first time, to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Attercliffe (Mr. Betts) and that in new clauses 25 and 40? What would be the problem with accepting those new clauses? How many people who would be included in that proposal are left out of the one that he is making? Surely we need to know that before we vote.
