Clause 1 - Entitlement
State Pension Credit Bill [Lords]
11:00 am
Mr James Clappison (Hertsmere, Conservative)
As for the extent to which the name reflects the aim of the Labour Government, the Minister mentioned two aims, but he did not refer to those relating to means-testing. Is it still an aim of the Labour party to end means-testing for elderly people, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer said it was in 1993?
