The Pension Bill 2025 seeks to liberalise what companies can do with surplus pension funds including extracting them from the funds. These are surpluses that contain the hard worked earnings of pensioner’s contributions and the investment returns on them.
Meanwhile, pensioners with pre-1997 pensions have had minimal increases that fall far behind inflation.
The HPPA (Hewlett Packard Pensioners Association, who have NEVER had an increase for inflation) are lobbying MPs and Government Ministers to pass amendments to the Pensions bill that would force automatic, annual increases to match the post 1997 pension laws.
The Pre-97 Justice Alliance is a grouping of several pensions associations in a coordinated campaign to change the law.
CUKPA members are being asked to email their MPs and key influencers seeking support for the amendments to achieve this change, and have been sent an email with a pre-composed letter.
However, some 200 members do not have a valid email on their membership record!
Success in this campaign will increase everyone’s pension who have pre 1997 contributions. Join the campaign for better pensions and send your letter today!
