Proceeding contribution from Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 February 2012. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Pensions and Social Security.
Pensions and Social Security
I apologise for missing the beginning of the Minister's opening remarks. Will not the change mean a reduction from 5.6%, which would have been the uprating had we used RPI? Is the Minister aware that we have a Back-Bench debate on the matter because more than 100,000 people have signed a petition against the changes, particularly as they affect pensions? It therefore surely cannot be the case that people are happy about the changes.
