Proceeding contribution from Richard Graham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Service Pensions.
Public Service Pensions
Some months ago, when the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General told the House that one of his key negotiating goals was to protect, if not improve, the pensions of lower and middle-earning public sector workers, not all my constituents were convinced. Today, he and the Chief Secretary have delivered on that promise, and hard-working nurses at the Gloucestershire royal hospital and teachers in Gloucester will welcome the news that many of them will have better pensions than at present. However, does the Chief Secretary share my disappointment that the Opposition Front-Bench team has been unable to welcome today's news, especially as workers in businesses such as Wall's in my constituency have recently seen their own pensions significantly watered down?
