HC Deb 12 December 1977 vol 941 c39W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services from which pensioners' organisations he has received representations on pensions matters during the past 12 months.

Mr. Orme

My right hon. Friend and I receive a large number of representations on pension matters from various sources, including pensioners' organisations, and have met a number of deputations. It would be a considerable task to identify all the pensioners' organisations and other interested bodies which have made representations over the past 12 months, but they include the following:

  • The National Federation of Old Age Pensions Associations.
  • Age Concern.
  • The British Pensioners and Trade Unions Action Committee.
  • The TUC Social Insurance Committee.
  • The Scottish Old Age Pensioners' Association.
  • The Merthyr Tydfil Pensioners' Association.
  • The Transport and General Workers Union (Senior Citizens).
  • Task Force.
  • The Civil Service Pensions' Alliance.
  • The London Trades Unions and Old Age Pensioners' Joint Committee.
  • The Public Service Pensions' Council.
  • Various Trade Unions.
