Blair’s legacy to consumers

10 May 2007

Following Tony Blair’s resignation announcement today, Peter Vicary-Smith, Chief Executive, Which?, comments on Blair’s legacy to consumers:

“Blair’s lasting legacy to consumers is giving us choices we couldn’t have imagined ten years ago – just look at the NHS, nutrition and education.

“But, in itself, a blind extension of choice can’t deliver for consumers. Above all, people want simple, honest solutions that last a long time and offer real alternatives; real choice.

“This is the breakthrough that has been made in personal accounts for pensions; rejecting an illusion of choice and instead delivering a simple, low-cost and honest scheme that will provide affordable pensions for all for the first time. That could well prove to be Blair’s greatest legacy.”
