Since I was elected, I am proud to have secured the first ever independent investigation into the case of the local AEAT pensioners. This led to a Parliamentary Committee holding an inquiry and issuing their report – and I met with the Chair of the Committee ahead of the publication of this to push for redress, as well as the then Pensions Minister to do the same.
Today I met with the new Pensions Minister to discuss their case and push again for redress. He assured me that he has tasked his officials with urgently looking into this.
