Mandatory Retirement Age

EDM number 1048 in 2008-09, proposed by Stephen Pound on 10/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Age discrimination.

That this House notes with regret the opposition of the Government to the case brought by Age Concern to the European Court of Justice; and regrets that a mandatory retirement age of 65 years will now continue to apply in the UK; and, in the interests of consistency, believes that no hon. or right hon. Member should in future stand for re-election if their age exceeds 65 years.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
