Despite undeniable progress, justice is not yet achieved so the campaign continues!

 “AI”- says that the Pre-97 Pension Justice campaign has successfully moved “Pre-97 Pension Justice” from a niche grievance to a recognised parliamentary issue.
Evidence:It has been raised In House of Commons and House of Lords debates:
  • Through many written questions to ministers since before 2017
  • Has become a frequent focus of mainstream media attention as well as a “hot topic” for the pension industry press
  • Is visible on dedicated social media sites
  • There has been a notable increase in attention in 2024–2026, particularly as Pension Schemes legislation and reforms were announced
  • Probably 20–50+ separate Commons interventions (questions, speeches, debates) in recent years alone
  • With frequency accelerating sharply since 2024–2025 due to our campaign of lobbying and seizing the opportunity of the Pension Schemes Bill
  • An Alliance of 13 schemes working together for greater impact
Examples

  • House of Commons (2024–early 2026): ~15–25 separate mentions
  • Including all formats (debates, bill stages, written questions): likely 25–40+
  • Across both Houses (Commons + Lords): 50+ mentions is realistic
  • Department of Work & Pensions (DWP) Select Committee evidence pre and post the last general election
  • Written Parliamentary Questions (WPQs) particularly 3 December 2025
  • Documented written questions to ministers on pre-97 indexation
  • Several amendments (notably NC22) put forward in the Commons and the Lords
  • Adjournment debate 19 March 2026 led by Luke Akehurst, MP for North Durham

Pre-97 indexation has been raised at every stage of the Pension Schemes Bill legislation

The data indicates a shift from occasional mentions to consistent focus. This rise in coverage resulted from media interviews, lobbying, nationwide meetings, Westminster visits, marketing efforts, and member engagement via our website and mailings—all made possible by member donations.

However, despite undeniable progress, justice has not yet been achieved and the campaign continues!

Thank you to all donors who have enabled our multiple on-site lobbying visits at Westminster which gave our campaign a lot of help.

We still have some ongoing costs, and are likely to need to continue with lobbying efforts in the future, so continuing donations will be much appreciated, and will be put to good use.
