AGE Concern and the Fawcett Society have published 'A Blueprint for Reform.'
They are calling for:
l Women to be able to build up their own entitlement to a pension
l The Basic State Pension to be raised to £109 per week
l A second pension that provides for all
l Private and occupational pensions that work for women.
I hope that people will support this campaign to end the scandal of so many women pensioners living in poverty.
