PENSIONS (No 2)

Early day motion 65, tabled 26 November 2003 by Lord Willetts (Conservative). Signed by 63 members.

That this House is extremely concerned at the current crisis in occupational pensions for which the Government must bear its share of responsibility; is concerned at the growing number of schemes which are closing to new members; is worried at the size of the deficits in major pension schemes; regrets the lack of interest from young people in making provision for their retirement; and calls upon the Government to recognise belatedly that there is a pensions crisis and to take action to improve incentives to save for the future.

Signatures by party: Conservative 57, DUP 2, UUP 2, Independent Conservative 1, Labour 1.
