Brown faces vote of No Confidence over pensions fiasco
The government faces a double assault over their pensions failure in Parliament. Tonight, Gordon Brown will face a vote of no confidence in the Commons over his 1997 decision to scrap tax relief on pension funds. The Tory motion has Lib Dem support but is almost certain to be voted down by Labour MPs. Tomorrow, Mr Brown risks further embarrassment if the government suffers defeat over a cross-party attempt to amend the Pensions Bill to secure improved compensation for the victims of collapsed occupational pension schemes.
