Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.


Social Security

The Leader of the Opposition said in his speech at the weekend that the Conservatives would pay for the earnings link by raising the pension age for men in 2016. One might have read that to mean that the Government-in-waiting—the Conservative party—will not restore the earnings link until 2016. Is that a correct understanding of what he said?
