FORMER prime minister Stuart Young has decided not to participate or even attend the parliamentary debate on the Prime Minister’s Pension (Amendment) Bill, 2025, on June 27.

According to the explanatory notes attached to the bill, it "seeks to amend the Prime Minister’s Pension Act (Chapter 2:51) to require a person to serve at least one year as prime minister in order to qualify for a prime minister’s pension."

Young served as prime minister from March 17, 2025 to April 28, 2025, following the resignation of Dr Keith Rowley as prime minister.
