PENSIONS: FOLLOWING UP THE PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE: FIREFIGHTERS SEEK CLARITY – GOVERNMENT RESPONSES ADD TO THE CONFUSION

Do Penny Mordaunt and Eric Pickles know the meaning of the word ‘guarantee’?

As the imposition of the 2015 pension regulations approaches, firefighters are asking for clarity about their pension situation. The responses so far from DCLG have done nothing to assist this.

PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE ON FIREFIGHTERS PENSION SCHEME - FOLLOW UP

FBU members will all be aware of the debate that took place in the House of Commons on 17 December 2014. Many members attended the debate and many, many more watched the debate on television. We are also aware that firefighters elsewhere in Europe and beyond became aware of the debate and followed it.

FIREFIGHTER PENSIONS: DEBATE IN HOUSE OF COMMONS

Firefighters from every brigade in the South West joined colleagues from across the UK in Parliament - lobbying MPs and demanding pension justice. After an unprecedented debate and vote in the Commons, with many Firefighters watching from the public gallery, the ConDem Government voted through unsustainable and unfair cuts to Firefighter pensions by 313 votes to 261.

Please find below the voting results from the MPs within our Region.  All MPs had been lobbied in person or had been written to.
