Set a cap for liquidator fees
- 32 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 179 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Currently the law sets out how fees can be calculated, but it doesn't set a cap on those fees. I've found it can take years and you might not retrieve enough money to pay the liquidator fees. I want a cap on the portion liquidators can take from investment retrieved in the liquidation process.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 175 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
Military pensions are subject to income tax, and many state benefits are reduced due to income from military pensions, including the War Disablement Pension and associated supplements. We think all military pensions should be disregarded for calculating tax and other benefit entitlements.

- 41 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 153 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

(Estimated Final Signatures: 142 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Legislation limiting the admissibility of computer evidence was repealed in 1999, and we want the Government to review current rules on the admissibility of computer evidence, and implement any necessary reforms, such as a legally binding duty to disclose any known defects in the computer system.

- 61 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 134 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I would like the Government to require all private pension providers to allow people earlier access to their pensions if they can no longer work due to ill health, and the pension should be based on their original hours (not reduced hours they worked because of their health).
