Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
Before the hon. Gentleman gets too carried away describing this utopia for senior citizens, he will recognise that independent work done in Edinburgh in the past year showed pensioner inflation at 9 per cent., with fuel prices skyrocketing. Although we have winter fuel allowances—which have never been uprated—I hope that he will recognise that many pensioners still had to choose between eating and heating last winter. Work does need to be done on pensions, and especially on the introduction of a properly indexed citizen’s pension in the future.
