From another List (Ex-Pat UK Pensioners) those whose UK pensions are "frozen".
Jack Straw gave a speech on 2nd October 2000 in St Paul's Cathedral. This speech is still on the internet, but for some reason the Department tries to hide it by letting you have only a brief look before it disappears and is replaced by something else.
Yet this speech is very important, dealing with the Human Rights Act, and treating all citizens equally.
Fortunately, the Department's tactics are not foolproof, and this "fool" has recovered the text and put it on the web.

On reading the speech you can perhaps guess why they want to hide it!
