Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.
Social Security
My hon. Friend is perfectly right. Let me give an example. This morning I received a letter from a pensioner in my constituency who will get an increase of £2.40 in her state pension, but who would have got an increase of more than £5 if the additional elements had gone up in line with inflation. That shows the significant impact that this Government proposal will have on real people.
