Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.


Social Security

The problem with the additional pension is that people always feel that the Government manipulate it to their advantage. Psychologically, this does immense damage to those people who stuck with the state earnings-related pension scheme and have seen the supposed benefit erode over time. That is why some of us, and some of our constituents, are very unhappy about this. They think that these measures will always be manipulated by the Government.
