Proceeding contribution from Geraldine Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 July 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Caring for the Elderly.


Caring for the Elderly

I do not know about Norwich, but I was recently talking to a pensioner in Morecambe who told me that he would be voting Labour because of the winter fuel allowance, the free TV licence, the free bus pass and pension credit. He did not trust the Conservative party, because he was old enough to remember the 1980s and the last Conservative Government.
