Proceeding contribution from Justine Greening (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.
Social Security
There is a time to debate the reduction in pensions that might happen in the next financial year, and it is then. It is simply wrong to stand against rises that will be welcomed by millions of pensioners across Britain this year when we do not know what the outcome of the election will be and what will happen next year. I urge the Liberal Democrats to play a responsible role in this House instead of the irresponsible role that I suspect they desire to play.
