Written Evidence to be reported to the House.
Pensions Bill
2:00 pm
Mike O'Brien (Minister of State (Pension Reform), Department for Work and Pensions; North Warwickshire, Labour)
We have had evidence over two days now. The degree of consensus has been remarkable among the TUC, the CBI, the organisations that support older people, various small businesses and engineers and others. They have broadly supported the consensus that you created as a result of your report on pensions. Therefore, it would be really useful to have on the record your view as to why it is so important that these changes need to be made. What is your view about why this is so important?
