PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
UPRATING OF FROZEN PENSIONS (22 March 2016)

That this House notes with concern, the decision by the Government to halt uprating of pensions for UK pensioners who are living overseas; further notes with concern that this will impact up to 550,000 UK pensioners, causing poverty, loneliness and a loss of independence; notes that, despite calls for a vote on the legislation putting this change through, the Government seems to be avoiding bringing this legislation to the House for debate; and urges the Government urgently to allow a debate in the House in order to examine the impact of these changes for UK pensioners.
