EQUITABLE LIFE PENSIONERS AND POLICY HOLDERS

That this House congratulates the Parliamentary Ombudsman on her report on Equitable Life and on her decision that Equitable Life policyholders should be compensated; further notes that many pensioners are passing away without seeing justice done; and calls on the Treasury to honour the Parliamentary Ombudsman's recommendations without further loss of time and immediately open negotiations with representatives of the Equitable Life policyholders.
