VAT On Fuel And Pension Increases

EDM number 2464 in 1992-93, proposed by Andrew Bowden on 19/10/1993.

That this House notes the continuing worry among elderly people about the impact of VAT on fuel bills; is concerned that linking compensation for higher fuel bills to income-related benefits will not help pensioners with incomes just above the qualifying limit, nor those who do not claim; believes that many hundreds of thousands of pensioners who miss out on benefits will have real difficulty meeting the extra costs of fuel once VAT is levied; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to increase the basic state retirement pension to cover the cost to pensioners of VAT on fuel.

This motion has been signed by a total of 91 MPs.
