Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 September 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Superannuation Bill.


Superannuation Bill

I recognise that a range of negotiations need to take place. In the last set of negotiations with the previous Government, there were various issues to do with changes tackling age discrimination in particular. My view—we have to come on to the reality of the negotiations that will have to take place—is that we can create a climate of opinion in this House and elsewhere that will enable those negotiations to come to fruition, and that we should protect the lowest paid, in particular, as best we can. That has been the commonly voiced demand in the Chamber today.
