Are We Being Served?

The Age Old Problem
' To be thrifty used to be wise. Today it is a dirty word and some pensioners are being penalised for it.'
In the last of the series which gives members of the public a chance to investigate matters which concern them, 73-year-old Nellie Paxman from Huddersfield looks at three examples of what she sees as unfair and unequal treatment for Britain's nine million pensioners: the 5p television licence, bus concessions and the new proposals for the death grant. ' We all get the same basic pension,' says Neliie, ' yet we are treated differently and it causes a lot of aggro.'
Among those Nellie talks to are Alasdair Milne , the BBC's new Director-General, and Hugh Rossi , mp, Minister for Social Security.
