Pensions Bill

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

Did I hear the right hon. Gentleman right when he said that the Bill’s move to axe the means-tested pension credit was a small step forward? This is a huge and significant step forward that recognises that the means-tested pension credit was deeply flawed and was not implemented for many of the people who were eligible for it. A single-tier pension will set our pensions on the right track. Will he confirm that the Labour party now accepts that this is the right way forward and that it is a huge step?
