Working for a £140 a week flat-rate pension
The Guardian highlights the latest moves by the Liberal Democrats in Government to deliver a flat-rate pension of £140 a week for all pensioners.
The paper says that a document updating the policy tasks still facing the coalition since the publication of its first coalition document in 2010 will be presented to Cabinet on Monday. They add that the paper will also emphasise improving school standards and cutting childcare costs by changing rules including those governing staff-children ratios.
The promise of a single state pension of about £140 a week is good news even if it will come into force after the 2015 election
