Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Service Pensions.


Public Service Pensions

The number of new starters in the private sector who can look forward to a defined benefit scheme is very small. The number of open defined benefit schemes is decreasing, but that should not deflect us from our wish to continue to provide defined benefit pensions in the public sector, which are a right and proper part of the reward for a lifetime's commitment to serving the public.
