[BITList] How saving the pound led to 54 years of injustice - Telegraph

[John Feltham]

"The Government Actuary's Department (GAD) report freely admits that  
there is a surplus – yes, that is right, a surplus – in the National  
Insurance Fund, which is expected to reach around £55 billion by the  
end of the year. By 2013-14, it is forecast to reach more than £100  
billion"

"In 1955, the pension was granted to British expats anywhere in the  
world, but at the time the pound was under stress and it was decided  
not to uprate pensions overseas. That has remained the position ever  
since."
