Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 June 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

Perhaps the noble Lord could help me further. If in 2011, say, the Government were to publish a report stating that they expected that of the total pensioner population in 2012, instead of 30 per cent there might be 25 per cent on council tax benefit, and that instead of 25 per cent on housing benefit, as now, there might be 22 per cent, does that mean that, according to the rest of the proposed new subsection (2), the whole of this Act must be postponed?
