That this House welcomes the Government's help and assistance given to many pensioners by way of winter fuel payments, concessionary television licences and free bus passes; and calls for the Government to consider using the expected surplus in the national insurance fund to bring forward the restoration of the link between pensions and earnings in order to help pensioners, particularly those who rely entirely on their state pension.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
