Mr Speaker
I do not like seeing patient colleagues disappointed, so let us speed on. I call Mr Alan Reid.
Mr Alan Reid (Argyll and Bute) (LD)
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I was pleased to hear the Minister say that negotiations with defence police and firefighters are still ongoing, but time is running out because the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 comes into effect on 1 April. Will my hon. Friend ensure that these negotiations are concluded to the satisfaction of both sides well before then?
Anna Soubry
Yes, we need to make good progress and we need to make it quickly.
