Calls to pay Equitable Life OAPs

Actress Honor Blackman has called on the Government to make interim payments to 44,000 Equitable Life pensioners whose incomes have more than halved due to the problems at the society.

The former Avengers star and Bond girl accused the Government of “dragging its feet” for failing to pay out a single penny, 19 months after the Parliamentary Ombudsman first called on it to compensate policyholders.
