MARCONI PENSION FUND

Early day motion 968, tabled 19 February 2008 by George Howarth (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House expresses strong concern that the Pension Corporation has acquired the sponsor of the Marconi Pension Fund; notes that there is understandable fear on the part of the Marconi pensioners that the scheme's surplus could be appropriated by the sponsor; and calls on the Government to take action to protect the fund from being exploited in this manner.
