RPI

The e-petition calling for pension indexation to be returned to the Retail Prices Index has attracted almost 12,000 signatures - up from about 400 nine days ago.

BA trustee Cliff Pocock explains to Jenna Towler why he returned to the board

Government assertions that the indexation switch from RPI to CPI was based on Bank of England recommendations are political spin, a former BA trustee says.

Some Royal Mail Pension Plan scheme members' pension payments were 1.5 percentage points greater than others due to the CPI switch, annual accounts show.

Price pressures across a number of areas forced UK CPI annual inflation up from 4.2% in June to 4.4% in July.

Jenna Towler comments on the BA trustee by-election

The storm over changing pension indexation from the Retail Prices Index to the Consumer Prices Index has been raised on the government's new e-petition website.

Greggs has cut more than £15m from its defined benefit scheme after switching from Retail Prices Index-linking to Consumer Prices Index-linking.

Two of the trio of BA trustees who resigned their posts over the switch from RPI to CPI indexation have been re-elected to the board.
