CITIZENS' PENSION

EDM number 1932 in 2005-06, proposed by Mike Weir on 29/03/2006.

That this House welcomes the report from the Pensions Policy Institute calling for a flat rate pension to lift pensioners out of poverty and for reform of the current system of tax relief on private pensions; notes that the Turner Commission and the Government in its initial response specifically ruled out reform of tax relief; and believes that this stance is misguided and that reform of the current unfair system of tax relief is essential and would provide much of the funding required to introduce a Citizens' Pension for all pensioners.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
