PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
WOMEN AND PENSIONS (2 February 2004)
Motion Details
That this House welcomes the launch of Age Concern and the Fawcett Society's report One in Four; expresses concern that one in four single pensioner women live in poverty and that only 13 per cent. of all women pensioners have managed to build up entitlement to a full basic state pension; recognises that this is a problem which will continue in the future with one in five women currently aged between 25 and 34 relying on their partner for a pension; and supports the report's call on the Government to take action to reduce poverty for today and tomorrow's older women pensioners.
