Rebranding Pensions And Pensioners

EDM number 574 in 1999-00, proposed by Alan Meale on 29/03/2000.

That this House is concerned by reports that it is Ministers' intention to rebrand pensioners and pensions in the UK with trendier titles of greater appeal to the young; and notes that such an exercise would have to involve consultation with representatives of senior citizens, many of whom believe at present that any such changes should reflect Britain's retired population being currently in receipt of less than the national minimum wage.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
