Amendment No. 6 has been ruled out of order as a potential charge on the Exchequer. Basically, this is because the amendment proposes a further increase in the contributory State pension above the increases proposed in the Bill. As this amendment could involve a charge on the Exchequer, it therefore must be ruled out of order in accordance with Standing Order 156(3).
