Proceeding contribution from David Crausby (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate and e-petition debate on CPI/RPI Pensions Uprating.


CPI/RPI Pensions Uprating

The previous Labour Government did decide to restore the link and were committed to doing so. The current Government have now restored the link at a time when wages are flatlining, and the reality is that the restoration has cost them not a penny. But the real issue is not the restoration of the link, but the many thousands of pounds that have been lost by our pensioners until the day they die since Margaret Thatcher broke the link in the first place.
