Overseas Pensioners

EDM number 474 in 2013-14, proposed by Peter Bottomley on 04/09/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Equality and Pensions.

That this House notes that Clause 20 of the Pensions Bill is intended to make lawful the continuation of the unintended, purposeless discrimination against those British overseas pensioners, mostly in Commonwealth countries, who are denied the normal increases given to equivalent pensioners at home, in the EU and in most foreign countries; and therefore asks the Government to withdraw Clause 20.

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