Change MP's Pensions from Defined Benefits plans to Defined Contributions plans

Petition Details

The vast majority of working people within the UK have pensions that are Defined Contribution plans. These plans are less generous in their pension provision than the 'gold standard' Defined Benefits plans MP's enjoy.
MP's need to lead by example and change their pensions.
