State Retirement Pension

EDM number 247 in 2008-09, proposed by Kelvin Hopkins on 11/12/2008.

That this House recognises the Government's commitment to restoring the link between increases in the basic state pension and average earnings in 2012, but believes that in order to ensure pensioners' incomes keep pace with the costs of living and levels of prosperity across the nation, any future indexation should be based on the change in the Retail Price Index or average earnings, whichever is the higher.

This motion has been signed by a total of 71 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
