Proceeding contribution from Lord Howarth of Newport (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.

Pensions Bill

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord MacGregor of Pulham Market, has just made a powerful speech adding to the arguments that were put forward in the earlier debate, and I certainly do not intend to repeat any of them. I simply say to the Minister that there will be a not insignificant number of people who, under the present dispensation, will face an appalling crisis in their personal lives. I really hope that the Government will take this away and think very carefully, sympathetically and constructively about the inadequacy of the present dispensation and see what they can do.
