Petition Action

Review, reform & means-test the state pension & scrap tuition fees

Petition Details

We urge the Government to review existing state pension entitlements and introduce the following reforms: 1) end the triple lock 2) reduce entitlements for those on existing private defined benefit schemes with an income £20,000 + 3) end state pensions for incomes over £50k.

Additional Information

We urge the Government to use additional money from these reforms to fund scrapping tuition fees for students. Current state pension benefits cost nearly £150 billion a year – we believe this is unsustainable. We believe those with the broadest shoulders should support an approach which keeps the Chancellor within her borrowing limits and protects priority departments, like the NHS & Defence. We believe young people need more help. We believe £50k in debt for students is too much.
