Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

Given the fact that over recent years Governments have dramatically eroded the contributory principle in a range of ways, the idea that it should be treated as a shibboleth in the pensions world is wrong. The proposal is that the citizen's pension should be based on residency. One of its benefits would be for women. The hon. Lady has expressed concern about women's pensions, because a huge number of women do not have access to a full state pension.
