00:00I know that not everyone in this hall or in the country will agree with every
00:05decision that I make. I will not duck those decisions. Not for political
00:11expediency, not for personal advantage. Faced with that 22 billion pound black
00:18hole that the Conservatives left this year and with a triple lock ensuring
00:22that the state pension will rise by an estimated 1,700 pounds over the course
00:27of this Parliament, I judged it the right decision in the circumstances that
00:31we inherited.
