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

Before the hon. Gentleman makes an allegation like that, he should remember that it is precisely these sorts of funds that he and his colleagues have been saying are unclaimed assets in insurance and pension funds. We have repeatedly warned him, and he has been warned by others, that they are not available, yet now he is trying to claim that the Government want to access them. The Government have never made any such claim—it has always been made by the Opposition.
