Celebrating the Contribution of Older People to Scottish Society

As an amendment to motion S4M-10257 in the name of Shona Robison (Celebrating the Contribution of Older People to Scottish Society), leave out from "and believes" to end and insert “; understands that changes to the pension age are required as a result of the aging population; commends the UK Government’s commitment to introducing a Private Pensions Bill, to allow employees to contribute to ‘collective pension’ funds, and a Pensions Tax Bill, to give those who have saved discretion over the use of their retirement funds; believes that a solution must be found to the issue of community transport being excluded from a concessionary travel scheme; welcomes the Scottish Government’s commitment to increase the carer's allowance, and urges the Scottish Government to address the underlying social issues that lead to such poor life expectancy rates in some parts of Scotland.”
