Proceeding contribution from Baroness Turner of Camden (Labour) 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
I am puzzled by this. If you insert ““state pension age””, it clearly ties the scheme entirely to the current state pension age, but the state pension age may gradually increase as we all live longer. At the same time, there may be types of work where it is desirable that people do not have to work to state pension age before they get their pension. It depends on the kind of employment. It seems that not having ““state”” in the Bill allows for a degree of flexibility, which we may welcome.
