Pensions Bill

I am saying that it would be deeply irresponsible to do as the Opposition are doing, which is promising to deliver more money on the basis of a scheme that they do not know will work and without a proper review. The right thing to do is for the Government to pay at least 80 per cent. and we have now provided £8 billion. The Conservatives said that they would never put in more taxpayers’ money, but we have now done so. I urge my colleagues to support the Government amendments.
