This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition State pensions should, at least, be equal to the minimum living wage.
More details
Minimum wage rates in the UK are £6.19 which gives a weekly pay of £247.60.
The most you will receive for State Pension is £107.45 a week.
I ask the government - is this fair, when a person has worked their whole life, paying taxes and National insurance.
I ask the Government to raise the State Pension to the same rate,that The Government has set, for minimum living wage.
