Pensions Reform

Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 June 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Pensions Reform.
I agree entirely with my hon. Friend on the generational issues. One of the problems in that regard is that in the 1980s and 1990s an awful lot of people retired early. They might have done so because they had no choice and their jobs were taken away. In doing so, however, many of them got good packages. It is difficult for the generation who have come after them to accept that rather than retiring at 60 or 65, as might have been expected, the previous generation might have retired at 50 or 55 on good packages. That is a scandal that has never really been exposed. In relation to the evolution of the debate, does she agree that that has been a problem?
