Motion text

That this House is concerned that the Government has not ceased the immoral and unjust practice of maintaining a discriminatory differential in UK state pensions paid to British pensioners living abroad, dependent on where they reside; acknowledges that the Government has stated categorically that there exists no legal reason to do so; and calls upon the Government to cease the practice of freezing overseas pensions and to provide the 520,000 British pensioners resident abroad who currently struggle to survive on their frozen pensions with pension parity.
