Business of the House

Business question from Brian Binley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
As you will know, Mr. Speaker, many pensioners are in dire straits, as about 1.8 million are judged to be in poverty, we have pretty much the lowest basic pension in Europe and recent interest rate cuts have hit them massively in respect of their often very small investments. Will the Leader of the House consider—and with some urgency—having a debate on the position of our pensioners, who are facing, as I said, such serious challenges?
