Government must act after pensioner court victory - Brooke

Annette with Mr and Mrs Morris

Annette recently met with constituents Mr and Mrs Morris at a national pensions lobby day in Westminster

Commenting on the news that workers who lost their company pensions have won their High Court case against the Government, Annette Brooke, Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, said:

"This is a fantastic 'David versus Goliath' victory for the pensioners who have fought for justice.

"This is the third strike against the Government's disgraceful attempts to duck out of paying compensation, after the Ombudsman's Report and the Public Administration Select Committee Report. After three strikes the Government must surely accept that it is out.

"Ministers must now set out how fair compensation will be paid to those who lost their pensions after Government maladministration.

"If the Government refuses to act after this decision we will table an amendment to the Pensions Bill forcing them to act."

    If you are a resident of the constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
