Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.
Pensions Bill
Will the Secretary of State consider ways to remove the disincentives on personal responsibility? Perhaps he should consider Help the Aged's idea of at least investigating an income disregard scheme, which would allow the maintenance of some means-tested benefits. Many people at the margins feel that pensions involve robbing Peter to pay Paul.
