Proceeding contribution from Geraldine Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
As a former trade unionist, I know a good deal when I see one. I think that what the Government propose is a good deal for people who have lost their pension funds. Will my hon. and learned Friend remind us how much taxpayers’ money is, quite rightly, being used to fund the Government’s scheme? Will he assure me that payments will be speeded up, so that people receive some income as soon as possible? Finally, does he agree that Opposition Members have displayed a touch of opportunism with their amendment?
