Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) 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

If pension outgoings from the fund rise by the level of earnings, and income rises by the RPI, there is bound to be an imbalance between the two. Is that why the Government are building up the balance in the National Insurance Fund? Is this the real answer to the pensioners convention?
