Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 June 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.

Pensions Bill

Of course the department will keep all these matters under review, but the key purpose of the Bill is to prevent what the noble Baroness has just asserted the position to be. It is particularly to address equity for women and to ensure that they have fewer years through which they can acquire a full basic state pension and all the extra credits that come from being in receipt of child benefit or other caring responsibilities, which we are going to discuss shortly.
