| Annotation | This pamphlet is a reprint of Chapter 7 of the book, 'Who runs Britain?' with permission of the author, Robert Peston, BBC Business Editor and the publisher, Hodder and Stoughton (pictures appearing were not in the original chapter). It debates the current occupational and private pensions - which are considered to be in a state of crisis - and their relationship with the basic state pension. In fact, the entire UK pension system, once "the envy of the world" is now considered by the author to be in a parlous state; and this chapter describes how this has come about since the 1970s. A foreword by the National Pensioners Convention (NPC) calls for an increase in the basic state pension to the official poverty level, estimated to be £171 per week. (KJ/RH). |
