Proceeding contribution from Brian Jenkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.
Benefits Uprating
We all welcome upratings, but does my good friend the Minister intend to write to all the people in our community who attain the age of 80 this year, and along with it entitlement to the old age allowance, and inform them of what they should do with their new-found wealth when the allowance rises from 25p to 26p? Might it include buying a second-class postage stamp, or saving up for a first-class postage stamp? Is it not about time that this award, which is neither use nor ornament, was laid to rest?
