Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Raising of the Pension Age.
Raising of the Pension Age
The shadow Chancellor has argued that the Conservatives will restore the earnings link by the end of the next Parliament, which will be 2015, and he claims that the money to do that will come from raising men's and women's pension ages. However, if men's and women's pension ages do not rise under the Tories until some distant point in the future, they will not have the money to restore the earnings link, so they will have to do precisely as the hon. Gentleman has indicated. Does he share my view?
