Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
Would the Opposition spokesman like to remind the House that as part of the recovery plan for the pensioners who had their pensions stolen by Maxwell, the Government offered a loan to the funds? That loan is still being repaid, and some of us are under pressure from pensioners who believe that the repayment should not continue, but that the moneys should be paid into their funds instead, so that they can enhance their pensions. The money was a loan; the House agreed it as a loan, and repayments have been made and continue to be made.
