Closed Fix the age for entitlement to the state pension to 60 for both men and women

Closed on

With high UK unemployment this would free jobs held by people at 60 years of age and older who wish to retire and release them for the unemployed and youth of the country.
This would be funded by the reduction to the welfare budget by those who come off benefits and instead would be paying taxes.
