Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) 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

Parliament has legislated to re-link earnings and pensions within the lifetime of the next Parliament. The hon. Gentleman is saying that that will be coupled with an increase in the state pension age. Even according to the rather muddled speeches of the shadow Chancellor, that will not happen until 2016, which is after the lifetime of the next Parliament. Can the hon. Gentleman explain the inconsistency?
