Proceeding contribution from Hugh Bayley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

I have a point to raise before the hon. Gentleman leaves the subject of means-testing. One way to get away from the problem described would be to reduce the value of means-tested benefits. I would not want that to happen—I would not want there to be any reduction in eligibility for pension credit or a reduction in the uprating rules—but is that what the hon. Gentleman's party has in mind? Does it have in mind reducing the value over time of pension credit?
