Proceeding contribution from Nia Griffith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.

Lady agree that not only will the cutting back on public sector jobs affect young people's opportunities, but the 3% tax—the £2.8 billion that the Government hope to raise from the increase in pension contributions—will suck money out of the economy across the UK and drive families into poverty?
