Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales).

Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales)

I want to make progress. I have been generous in giving way. For every high-earning public service pensioner who provokes headlines in the Tory media, thousands and thousands of public sector workers are on very low pensions. For example, the average pension for a female national health service worker is £5,000 per annum. The median rate is even lower. Half of female NHS workers are on a pension of less than £3,500.
