Pensions Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Pensions Bill.
My hon. Friend is expressing the problem in a very moving way. A number of my constituents are having to work extremely hard at a time when they should be enjoying long and happy retirements. For example, I know one person who is doing night driving for a courier company. He is working himself into the ground because he has no proper pension, and there are many others in the same difficulty. Because those proud people do not want to rely on state benefits or move into council housing they are having to work as hard as they can to pull their lives together. This debate provides an opportunity for us to save their lives.
