New Clause 27
Pensions Bill
2:00 pm
David Laws (Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Work & Pensions; Yeovil, Liberal Democrat)
The Minister might be confusing that with the state second pension, which we are committed to phasing out in the long term, respecting the existing accruals, so there is a misunderstanding. I was about to bring my comments to a conclusion, but it would be ungenerous not to give the Minister an opportunity to intervene again on me, as I have often done so on him. However, with those comments, I now hand over to him for his formal response.
