Should we SCRAP some "outdated" benefits for older people and replace them with support for the young? Well - that's the call from 'The Committee on Intergenerational Fairness'. These would include: removing the triple lock for pensions, phasing out free TV licences based on age (currently free for over-75s) and limiting free bus passes for the over-65s and winter fuel payments until five years after retirement age! What do you make of this? Stephen got the views of Harry Fone from the Taxpayers' Alliance, commentator Bumper Graham and member of the Pensioners Parliament Anne Watson.
