Cross-Party Action on Pensions Compensation Needed - Brooke

Those who have lost their occupational pensions should receive fair compensation - Brooke

Speaking ahead of tomorrow's Third Reading of the Pensions Bill, Annette Brooke, Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, said:

"The Pensions Bill gives the House of Commons the chance to impose on the Government the fair settlement on pensions compensation which it has for so long resisted.

"I hope that MPs of all parties will back the amendments which will guarantee that those who lost their occupational pensions receive fair compensation at the same level as the Pension Protection Fund.

"The Government has consistently been found to be guilty of maladministration, yet it has had to be dragged kicking and screaming towards a proper package of compensation.

"This week MPs have their best opportunity to date to end this long-running farce. Those who have lost their pensions will not forgive MPs who do not back a fair compensation package."

    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.
