Proceeding contribution from Baroness Turner of Camden (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
The Minister mentioned a very large figure, saying it would cost several million—£2 billion. Are there any costs to offset against that? Surely there could be some savings. First, a number of better-off pensioners would pay more tax and, secondly, there would be less expenditure on means-tested benefits which otherwise would be payable but which people would not need to claim because they were receiving increased pensions.
