Your support makes all the difference.The Commons Social Security Committee is to call administrators of the Maxwell companies to give evidence, amid fears that cash that should be going to pensioners is being used for legal fees.
Frank Field, chairman presumptive of the committee, said that the new committee planned to meet next week.
Richard Page, Conservative MP for Hertfordshire SW, joint chairman with Mr Field of the all-party action group for Maxwell pensioners, said yesterday: 'We want to know what the liquidators and administrators have been doing, what their costs are and how much money they have got back.'
