Proceeding contribution from Richard Graham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill [Lords] (Programme) (No. 2).

Pensions Bill [Lords] (Programme) (No. 2)

The hon. Gentleman takes us back into the mists of history, but surely today's announcement can be warmly welcomed by all Members on both sides of the House? The right hon. Member for Birmingham, Hodge Hill (Mr Byrne) describes this announcement as ““just a sticking plaster””, however. I cannot think of any other sticking plaster in history which has cost £1.1 billion and helped 250,000 people. That cannot have been the case even when the right hon. Gentleman was at the Treasury.
