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


Social Security

I am most grateful to the hon. Gentleman. Does he recognise the fact that the last time we voted against an uprating—when we had the scandalous 75p increase—it resulted in the underpinning that the Minister has been boasting about this evening? Sometimes, when we make these points we can do a great deal of good for pensioners—his abstention will not do that.
