Pensions Bill

Proceeding contribution from Peter Bottomley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 June 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Pensions Bill.

When my right hon. Friend gets on to that topic, the House will listen with interest. He has talked, rightly, about the

anomaly of the self-employed, and the measure will be greatly welcomed, as will the attention to some of the women affected, but may I draw his attention to clause 20 which, if it is not passed, would unfreeze the pensions for people in the old dominions? Were I to be asked to serve on the Committee, I would do so with pleasure, with the intention of getting the Government to stop this historic immoral anomaly, to start negotiating bilateral treaties and to give people the prospect that they will not have to live on pensions of £6 a week when others are on £106 or £160 a week.
