THE newly elected MP for Droitwich Nigel Huddleston beats the odds in the Houses of Parliament this week as he was selected to ask a question at Prime Minister’s Questions for the second successive time.

Mr Huddleston entered his question in a ballot for Wednesday’s PMQs, along with all the other MPs in the house, but generally MPs are only selected on average to ask two questions a year so he was surprised to find himself asking for the second week in a row.

David Cameron was in Europe this Wednesday and as a result Chancellor George Osborne was taking his role.

Mr Huddleston asked: “Pensions are a really important issue to my constituents. The Government has delivered on its side of the bargain by giving savers the freedom to access their pensions. Will the Chancellor do all he can do to make sure that the industry lives up to its side of the bargain and delivers on those freedoms?”

Responding to the question, the Chancellor said: “60, 000 people have accessed their pension savings but there are clearly concerns that some companies are not doing their part to make those freedoms available. We are investigating how to remove barriers and we are now considering a cap on charges. I am asking the Financial Conduct Authority to investigate. People have worked hard and saved hard deserve a better deal.”

After leaving the House of Commons chamber, Mr huddleston added: “I was delighted to have been picked again for a second PMQ in a row.

“As the Chancellor was answering the questions it gave me a perfect opportunity to ask a question about pensions.

“It is excellent news that the Government are taking action to ensure that everyone is allowed to access their pensions should they wish. I particularly welcome the promise from the Chancellor to look into capping charges which has been brought up to me several times by constituents”
