HL Deb 24 July 1997 vol 581 c179WA
Lord Tebbit

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have given consideration to compensation for people who were given false or misleading advice at the general election since when their prospective pensions have been devalued.

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

In our manifesto we promised to make economic stability a priority and promote greater long-term investment. The Budget and the monetary framework we have put in place start to fulfil those promises. Pension funds should benefit over the long term from the improved company performance resulting from a strong and stable economy.
