<proposer id="10378">Chris McCafferty</proposer>
<date>2005-04-05</date>
<text>That this House notes that the Government has brought forward proposals to alter the provisions of the Teachers' Pension Scheme; is concerned about the introduction of a normal pension age of 65 years and other changes to existing contracts; and calls on the Government not to proceed with these proposals, pending negotiations with representatives of teachers' associations, in order to reach majority agreement.</text>
