The claim
The Parliamentary Pensions (Repeal) Act will come into effect only from the next parliament.
Original review summary
Fact Crescendo says the bill provides that pension payments cease after it comes into effect, including for current MPs and people entitled to pensions under previous Parliaments. The bill still needed to pass Parliament and receive the Speaker’s approval to become law. [S1][S1]
