Proceeding contribution from Sajid Javid (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 September 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Superannuation Bill.
Superannuation Bill
The hon. Gentleman will know that the budget deficit that this Government inherited from the previous Government is £155 billion, but even the structural deficit, which was there before the economic crisis commenced, was £128 billion. The country was already living way beyond its means. That is why his Government tried to make changes to the scheme, and it is a reason why we need to do so. It is no good trying to blame the problem on a particular profession. If he is going to pick a profession to blame it on, he should pick the political class represented in the previous Government.
