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


Social Security

Gentleman at least admit that we have actually increased the basic state pension and pensions overall by above the increase in earnings this year, as the rise in earnings is lower than 2.5 per cent., so the earnings link this year would have been less generous than the increase we are debating tonight?
