Proceeding contribution from Stephen Pound (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill (Lords).


Pensions Bill [Lords]

I apologise for interrupting my hon. Friend's fluent and fluid flow. Does he agree that it is insane, barking and bonkers to the ultimate degree to expect someone who has worked in a hard, physical job for most of their life to have the same longevity as someone who has luxuriated in the soporific circumstances of a stockbrokers' office? What will happen is that people will be signed off sick. It will cost the Government more money and treat women appallingly in the process. Does he agree?
