Proceeding contribution from Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Guaranteed Minimum Pensions Increase Order 2008.


Guaranteed Minimum Pensions Increase Order 2008

The Minister cannot get away quite as easily as that. The winter fuel payment was set at £200 in 2003, I think, and is still £200 in 2008. Some of these thresholds and disregards do not do the job that he argues that they do.
