Motion text

That this House believes that British pensioners living in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Zimbabwe suffer unfairly because the value of their pensions is frozen and not up-rated annually in line with inflation; notes that approximately 480,000 out of Britain's 900,000 expatriate pensioners live in these five countries; considers that treating these pensioners differently from those living in other countries is a grave injustice; and urges the Government to expand the up-rating of pensions for all British pensioners living abroad.
