Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Pickles and Dan Jarvis

Monday 15th December 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Pickles]

We certainly have no intention of persecuting the good people of Wimbledon; nor do we intend to make people suddenly find themselves in a mansion that they did not realise they owned. These are people who bought a property a few years ago and whose incomes have not gone up, but now Labour apparently wants to take £3,000 or £4,000 from them every year.

[Dan Jarvis (Barnsley Central) (Lab)]

T3. Those who risk their lives to protect us deserve a decent pension. Will the Minister explain why firefighters have recently been on strike in England, but not in Scotland or in Wales?
