I will not give way because I am just finishing.
Every round of pension reform over the past few decades has been touted as the last for a generation. I am not persuaded that what is being proposed today is
the final chapter in the pension reform on which we are embarking. I wonder how it will stand the test of time. I fear that in a few years’ time, the goalposts may shift yet again, notwithstanding the reviews that the Government have built into the system. I hope that the Government will look carefully at the equality issues in the Bill and do more to ensure that pensioner poverty for women, as well as men, becomes a thing of the past.
