Pensions Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Pensions Bill.

But why, unless the Minister is actually accusing widowed parents of exploiting or milking the system? Being more generous in the case of the very moving examples given by the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, would give greater choice for other widowed parents with perhaps less difficult circumstances. Unless the Minister thinks they are milking the system, they will find their path back into the labour market. Why does he have to make it quite so tidy and precise? Why does he have to second-guess all the time?
