ASSISTANCE FOR PENSIONERS

Early day motion 828, tabled 23 February 2009 by Daniel Kawczynski (Conservative). Signed by 18 members.

That this House recognises the Financial Assistance Scheme to be woefully inadequate for the purpose of helping those whose pensions have been wound up; further recognises that faith in the pension system must be restored and can only be so restored through Government action; and proposes that the qualifying date, for which benefits accrued will be increased, be extended significantly beyond the 1997 cut-off date so as to ensure a decent standard of living for British pensioners who have had their pension funds wound up.

Signatures by party: DUP 5, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 2, Independent 2, Labour 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1, UUP 1.
