Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) 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 hon. Lady's argument does not wash. Obviously, in a perfect world, we would want notification of the state pension age to be given as early as possible, but we are talking about dates such as 2016 and 2020 at the earliest. I contrast that with the Government's £5 billion a year raid on pension funds that was announced with absolutely no notification whatsoever.
