ANDOVER pension campaigners Bill and Sue Warman are disgusted by Tony Blair's rejection of a report calling on the Government to compensate 85,000 people who have lost all or part of their company pensions.
The parliamentary ombudsman, Ann Abraham, made the ruling after finding the Department for Work and Pensions guilty of maladministration.
The Prime Minister, however, said taxpayers should not have to bail out private schemes.
Mr Warman said this week: "We were very pleased with the parliamentary ombudsman's report. Ann Abraham was wholeheartedly on the side of the people who were robbed of their pensions by this Labour Government."
But he added: "We are disgusted by Tony Blair's comments in the Commons after the ombudsman's report.
"We will keep on fighting until the Government admits it is in the wrong and our stolen pensions are returned to us in full."
