Pre-97 justice was the topic of the Adjournment Debate bought by Luke Akehurst MP on 19th April 2026. It was also the main topic of the Pensions Bill debate in December 2025 with Amendment NC22 receiving support across the house. However, it was not selected for a vote. Torsten Bell still believes that guidance for trustees is the solution. We are not so sure. Guidance has not delivered justice for us for over 20 years!
Our campaign continued to the House of Lords, where it was supported by Lord Bryn Davies and others, but again the government rejected our amendment for indexation.
Over the past year, our HPPA campaign has flourished and grown to become the Pre-97 Pension Justice Alliance (sometimes shortened to the Pre-97 Alliance). The Pre-97 Alliance includes 13 pension groups from companies who do not provide regular inflation cost of living increases to their pre-97 pensioners.
