PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BRITISH PENSIONERS LIVING ABROAD (9 January 1996)
Motion Details
That this House expresses its grave concern at the discrimination practised by Her Majesty's Government against British state pensioners living in certain countries abroad; believes that the denial of pension increases to persons who have paid National Insurance contributions is indefensible; and calls on the Government to end without further delay this discrimination against the hero generation who saved the world from Hitler.
