CPI/RPI Pensions Uprating

I think that members of the public have been mis-sold pension schemes over a generation by a series of Governments.

To effectively backdate the reduction in an individual's pension throughout their entire life through this move on RPI and CPI must be completely unacceptable—[Interruption.]
