Consultation On Pensions

EDM number 1033 in 1999-00, proposed by Paul Flynn on 26/07/2000.

That this House welcomes the measures taken by the Government to raise pensioners' incomes, but notes that for five out of six pensioners, who do not receive income support, the additional basic pension payable in 2000-01 if the link with earnings had been restored in 1998 would be more than the combined value of the ú150 winter fuel payment and free television licence for that year - ú119 more for a couple aged 75 or over and ú162 more for a couple under 75; notes the statement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 18th July that next year's pension increase is a matter for further consultation; and urges the Government to undertake that consultation without delay.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
