Proceeding contribution from Lord Dearing (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 June 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

What the noble Baroness said seems very persuasive. People who leave school early are least likely to earn high incomes. Therefore, the earlier they start to contribute, the more effectively they are able to provide for their old age and the less likely they are to be a burden on society. Therefore, for national as well as individual reasons, this proposal makes a lot of sense.
