UK Pensioners' Parliament (EDM826)

UK Pensioners' Parliament

EDM number 826 in 2013-14, proposed by Katy Clark on 02/12/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Elderly people and Parliament.

That this House welcomes the support given in recent years by Government and by the devolved administrations to organisations such as the British Youth Parliament and the Scottish Youth Parliament; notes that in recent times these organisations have contributed significantly to the public debate on a number of issues such as lowering the voting age and have raised the profile of many issues of importance to young people; further notes that in Ireland the Irish Senior Citizens Parliament has had similar success raising issues such as pensions; believes that similar organisations could help highlight the issues facing pensioners living in the UK; and calls on the Government to look into creating and supporting a UK Pensioners' Parliament to help ensure that the views of pensioners are properly taken into account by Government and service providers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
