Before my hon. Friend moves on, I wonder whether he would be interested to hear the Minister’s response to my constituent Maureen Davenport. The Minister said that the maximum state pension under the new system will be “significantly lower” than under the current system. He also said:
“In some ways the new system will be less generous for those who retire after April 2016”.
That is somewhat different from the fanfare and the Government saying that these new pensions would be wonderful for everybody.
