Discrimination Against British Pensioners Living Abroad

EDM number 279 in 1994-95, proposed by Winston Churchill on 14/12/1994.

That this House expresses its grave concern at the discrimination practised by Her Majesty's Government against British state pensioners living in certain countries abroad; believes that the denial of pension increases to persons who have paid National Insurance contributions is indefensible; and calls on the Government on this 50th Anniversary year of VE-day to end without further delay this discrimination against the hero generation who saved the world from Hitler.

This motion has been signed by a total of 248 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
