Proceeding contribution from Nigel Waterson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.
Social Security
Does the Minister accept that the intended consequence of these measures is that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of pensioners will be worse off as a result of the freezing of the additional payments attached to many pensioners' state pensions? Will she tell us how many people she estimates will lose out? Does she also accept that the measures will save the Treasury—or rather, cost the pensioners—more than £500 million?
