Dai Hudd, deputy general secretary of Prospect, said: "Our figures show the true scale of the attack on public service pensions in the budget. David Cameron and Nick Clegg have consistently pledged they will not attack pension rights already built up, but that is precisely what this budget did. It also makes a mockery of the Hutton commission into public sector pensions by pre-empting its conclusions."
