Wendy Morton

Conservative — Aldridge-Brownhills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 February 2025

Debate

Support for Pensioners

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making some really important points, particularly with the examples of pensioners who find themselves trapped. The crux of this issue the unfairness, but it is also about the speed with which this policy decision—this political choice—was made. Even as recently as 27 April 2024, the now Prime Minister was saying: “Britain’s pensioners deserve better. They deserve certainty, and for politicians to be straight with them so they can plan their lives.” This is not an example of fairness, it is not an example of certainty, and it is certainly not an example of being straight with pensioners.
