Proceeding contribution from Richard Graham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill (Lords).
Pensions Bill [Lords]
The right hon. Gentleman is generous to give way again but, with all due respect to him, I am comparing the fact of what was delivered by one Government over 13 years with the fact of what has been delivered by this new Government within one year. The Gloucestershire Pensioners Forum, which was created by members of his own party precisely to campaign against the de-linkage made by the late Mrs Thatcher when she was Prime Minister—[Hon. Members: ““She is still alive.””] Indeed she is. I meant to say ““the former Prime Minister””. The Gloucestershire Pensioners Forum has now fully recognised the value of re-linkage, which this Government will introduce. It is a shame that the right hon. Gentleman does not recognise these facts.
