Motion 4/99 submitted by Councillor McCormack
and seconded by Councillor Ryan.
That the less disadvantaged pensioners of
Bracknell Forest are not fully sharing in the opportunities arising
from this country’s successful and buoyant
economy. The Council therefore urges
the Government to:
(a) respond to the
needs of pensioners and implement an increase in the state pension
to a level that responds to the need as opposed to a limiting
index, and
(b) restore to
full value the pensions that our elderly have earned and so richly deserve.
Motion 5/99 submitted by Councillor Good and
seconded by Councillor Taylor.
