Proceeding contribution from Mike O'Brien (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
The unclaimed assets in bank and building society accounts are not included in the review, but—my hon. Friend may have missed it—those funds have been allocated to young people. I hope that he or the Conservatives, given that their lifeboat has been sunk by the Young review, would not advocate that we should raid the boat of the young and take their assets. That money is spoken for and is going to young people. The Conservatives may be shifting their ground, but we must not rob our young people to pay the old.
