Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 February 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.
Social Security
One of the slightly disappointing things about the Minister's announcement is that the cut in savings credit, which was supposed to come in when the basic state pension was increased by earnings, is being implemented early—this year. She will recall the national insurance contributions change where the upper accrual point was introduced. Again, that was supposed to happen because the basic state pension was being uprated by earnings, but it was brought in early—last year. Is it not time that she did what her old friends in the TUC suggest and introduced the uprating by earnings or prices, whichever is the higher now?
