Pensions Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Pensions Bill.

Let me just make a point, before we take those figures absolutely on face value. When you have differential incentives—in other words, the point that the noble Baroness is making precisely, when you have a higher level of pension credit than working age benefit—you cannot be too surprised when people elect to go with the better paying structure. That probably tells you less than it could about what is happening to those people.
