Deborah being interviewed today by BBC Radio's Richard Stead

Well today has been another busy day, I’ve had meetings with Save the Children over their hopes on child poverty and then I met with the ABI to discuss the future for Pensions in the UK. This is an area I have extensive experience in, having worked in the Pensions Industry for 20 years.

I welcome George Osborne’s announcement yesterday as a realistic approach to a massive problem for the next generation. I do hope if I’m elected to Parliament next year I will get the opportunity to use my experience. Speaking to those in the Pensions Industry it seems their job has been made more difficult by the constant change of Pension Ministers. I think it is to the Conservative’s advantage that our front Bench Team have remained in their respective briefs for long periods of time on the whole.

How can Ministers constantly hop around from one department to another and make any real difference in their ministerial department.

I then did an interview for BBC radio Manchester (pictured) and immediately left to accompany Lord Marland on a visit to Bolton Lads and Girls Club to see the great work they are doing there.
