State Retirement Pensions: Women

Asked by Victoria CollinsLiberal DemocratDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 15 October 2024UIN 7067

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman entitled Women’s State Pension age: our findings on injustice and associated issues, published on 21 March 2024, HC 638; and what steps she plans to take after meeting with the WASPI campaign on 5 September 2024.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

We will need time to review and consider the Ombudsman’s report along with the evidence provided during the investigation.

We need to consider the views that have been expressed on all sides including the points raised by representatives from the WASPI Campaign who I met on the 5th September.

Once this work has been undertaken, the Government will be in a position to outline its approach.
