National Insurance Contributions Bill

If I am not incorrect, my hon. Friend is some 63 years old. I was his Whip at one time. I suspect that his observation might contain the smallest element of self-interest. I take on board his points, although given the great hopes for the Turner review, if the retirement age increases he might be chasing a particular dragon while he is still below that age. I will certainly have him in mind when it comes to the national insurance aspects of the question.
