Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

May I take the hon. Gentleman back to his question about the use of the terms "pension or future pension" and "benefit or future benefit"? It is a matter of drafting. "Pension or future pension" is a phrase used in the Parliamentary and other Pensions Act 1987, and the strong advice that I have had is that it is best to stick to that, because it is the foundation of our scheme. "Benefit or future benefit" is used in the Pensions Act 1995. It is a matter of drafting and cleanliness—and nothing else.
