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
I deny being naughty. I am simply making the point that the Government have been telling pensioners that they are now in a wonderful new era, thanks to the triple lock, yet it had to be overridden in the first year it was supposed to be in place because it was not delivering an adequate increase. I am not persuaded that the degree of confidence that Conservative Members believe to have been bestowed on pensioners is a reality.
