Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (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
That is a matter that the Minister may well want to comment on in his response to this debate. In my view, the triple lock is certainly not the wonderful device that the Government maintain it is. As I have said, it is leading to a lower uprating of the basic state pension in the year ahead than if the RPI mechanism was still being used.
