Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Building Britain's Future.


Building Britain's Future

I am glad the hon. Gentleman recognises that we brought in the winter allowance, free television licences for the over-75s, and the pension credit. In our document today we talk about the additional needs that pensioners, particularly very elderly people, will have in the future, and I mentioned it in my statement—that is, the need for social care. We will address the matter with a statement to the House in due course.
