| | Edinburgh Evening News - Business - Crisis looming? Just pension off another minister (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | Back then, Harriet Harman was Secretary of State for Social Security and, while John Denham was the Parliamentary Under-Secretary with responsibility for pensions, Frank Field, the first Minister of State for Welfare Reform, was memorably instructed by Tony Blair to "think the unthinkable". |
 | | By July 1998, Alistair Darling was Secretary of State for Social Security and Mr Denham was made Minister for Pensions, though he was replaced a mere six months later by Stephen Timms, who, in turn, was replaced by Jeff Rooker in July 1999. |
 | | The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has reportedly already drawn the ire of Gordon Brown over his proposed timing of pensions plans, the Chancellor warning that any radical change may need to be put on hold until after the next election. |
