25 PENCE AGE ADDITION FOR PENSIONERS OVER 80

That this House believes that the 25 pence age addition for pensioners over 80 years old which was introduced at this level in 1971 should now be significantly raised; and further believes that, alternatively, the Government should give consideration to increasing the over 80 year olds' winter fuel allowance by £25 per annum or more as compensation for abolishing the 25 pence age addition.
