Proceeding contribution from Jenny Willott (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.
Benefits Uprating
I welcome the fact that the state pension and the state earnings-related pension scheme will rise by 5.2%, and that pension credit will do so above earnings, but different levels of uprating and a complex system can make it difficult for pensioners to understand exactly what they should expect. Will the Minister do all that he can to simplify the system and bring in a flat-rate pension as soon as possible, so that pensioners are able to see clearly and easily what pension they should expect?
