PENSIONS FOR HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS

Motion Text

That this House, while appreciating the fact that the German Government continues to pay pensions to Holocaust survivors, notes with concern that these pensions have been reduced by eighteen and a half per cent. because of the decline in the value of the euro; is aware that the uncertainties of the financial markets could result in further adjustments; considers that this is an unfair burden and worry for Holocaust survivors; and believes that there is a strong case for such pensions to be paid to UK residents and to residents in other nations in their national currencies.
