GUARANTEED MINIMUM PENSION INCOME

Early day motion 1, tabled 24 November 1998 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 104 members.

That this House enthusiastically supports the Government's proposal for a £75 guaranteed minimum income for pensioners; notes that about a million pensioners entitled to income support do not receive it; and urges that the guaranteed minimum should be implemented for all by raising the basic pension to £75 per week in 1999 without a means test.
