Social Security

Natascha Engel Excerpts

Monday 8th February 2016 Commons Chamber

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Mr Shailesh Vara)]

I beg to move,

That the draft Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2016, which was laid before this House on 25 January, be approved.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Natascha Engel)]

With this we shall take the following motion:

That the draft State Pension (Amendment) Regulations 2016, which were laid before this House on 18 January, be approved.

[Mr Vara]

The order and regulations before us have been laid previously in the House. It is my understanding that there is general agreement on both sides of the House on their contents. I do not, therefore, propose to detain the House any longer than is necessary.
