Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Service Pensions.

Public Service Pensions

I welcome my right hon. Friend's improved offer on public sector pensions, which shows that the Government are serious about meaningful negotiations. Will he challenge the rather misleading claims from some quarters that people will have to pay more, work longer and get less? Surely the truth is that—although people will indeed have to pay more and work longer—far from getting less, they will get much more, not least because on average they will receive 10 years' more pension payments than the previous generation.
