Proceeding contribution from Mike O'Brien (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

I certainly agree with the hon. Gentleman about restoring the earnings link in due course, and I will come to that in a moment. I would welcome his views on how we could find enough dosh to introduce his citizens pension without taxing people vastly. The money we spend comes from the taxpayer, and we have to balance the interests of the taxpayer with those of the pensioner.
