Proceeding contribution from George Hollingbery (Conservative) 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 think I understood the right hon. Gentleman to say that he has made a commitment that, had a Labour Government been in power now, they would have uprated pensions using RPI. Has he calculated how much that might cost, and is that a spending commitment that he is prepared to make here today? Secondly, if he is arguing for RPI uprating in future, does he have any idea of the long-term commitment that that might involve for the Government?
