Pension compensation is yet more half-measures - Brooke

March 21, 2007 3:12 PM
Pensions Lobby Day

Pension Justice at Last?

Commenting on the pension compensation announcement in the Budget, Annette Brooke, Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, said:

"Today's announcement on occupational pension compensation is just more half-measures from a Government which is having to be dragged kicking and screaming towards a fair solution. Meanwhile vulnerable people are being kept in poverty and forced to wait years for compensation.

"Many people who lost their pensions will continue to get a very raw deal from more tinkering with the Financial Assistance Scheme.

"The only way pensions justice will be delivered is if MPs impose a decent package on Ministers.

"When the Pensions Bill returns to the Commons, the Liberal Democrats will ensure that MPs have the opportunity to vote on upgrading the compensation package to Pension Protection Fund levels of award."

    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.
