Proceeding contribution from Anne Main (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Service Pensions.

Public Service Pensions

I share the disappointment at the rather lukewarm response on the Labour Benches. May I ask my right hon. Friend to stress to the unions that this is not the opening salvo in further negotiations, so they really should take this as a realistic opportunity to come up with a long-term solution for the 25-year period that would be best for the taxpayer? I sincerely hope that the unions take that in the spirit in which it is intended so that we do not have industrial action over the winter.
