Motion text

That this House is dismayed that the Government has not ceased the practice of maintaining a discriminatory differential in UK state pensions, dependent on the country in which the recipient resides; acknowledges that the Government has stated that there is no legal reason to do so; and calls upon the Government to cease the practice of freezing some overseas pensions and to provide the 525,000 affected recipients resident abroad with pension parity.
