We need more people to contribute to a private pension. It's not going to help if we financially punish those who do so by removing their state pension to compensate for their own prudence in saving for their retirement.

A private pension isn't prudence anymore now, it's pretty much common sense (not to mention automatic) however, i can imagine it's also financially challenging for a great deal of people due to wage inflation etc.
