The Labour Government is trying to insist that UK workers have no right to work past the age of 65. This was always a view that favoured business rather than the voters.
The entire policy has been rendered untenable by the financial crisis. Many people viewed their houses as their pensions. Now they have fallen in value people need to be given the chance to work longer.
If they are not it will affect economic recovery because people will simply cut their current spending to build up their savings. That is just the action the government wants to avoid if there is to be any chance of economic recovery.
