PENSIONS FOR HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS

Early day motion 790, tabled 5 June 2000 by Teddy Taylor (Conservative). Signed by 3 members.

That this House, while appreciating the fact that the German Government continues to pay pensions to Holocaust survivors, notes with concern that these pensions have been reduced by eighteen and a half per cent. because of the decline in the value of the euro; is aware that the uncertainties of the financial markets could result in further adjustments; considers that this is an unfair burden and worry for Holocaust survivors; and believes that there is a strong case for such pensions to be paid to UK residents and to residents in other nations in their national currencies.

Signatures by party: Labour 2, Conservative 1.
