Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jowell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Superannuation Bill.

Superannuation Bill

For the record, I think I have made the position absolutely clear. The Minister's words were more of a debating game than a substantive discussion of policy. We oppose new clause 1, because it creates no specific obligation to consult. Removing the caps would remove the structure of a settlement that the Opposition believe is profoundly and fundamentally unfair. The settlement is substantially detrimental to 500,000 civil servants compared with our February 2010 scheme, which has been grossly misrepresented by Government Members.
