Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

For the avoidance of doubt, will the Minister confirm that what his predecessor, the right hon. Member for Harrow, East (Mr. McNulty), told the House when he made the benefits uprating statement in December 2008—that the power to uprate the basic state pension by at least 2.5 per cent., even if inflation was zero, was in the Pensions Act 2008—is not correct?
