Proceeding contribution from Jenny Willott (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

Does my hon. Friend share my concern that my constituents who are affected are mainly people who worked in the former steelworks and were not on especially high incomes when they were employed? Their expected pension was not generous in the first place and getting two thirds of that can mean a small amount on which to live in retirement. That has implications for pensioner poverty.
