Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill (Lords).


Pensions Bill [Lords]

I think there is general acceptance that with increased longevity, the pension age needs to be considered, including the current unfair differentiation between men and women. However, there is a particular group of women who will be badly affected. I welcome the Secretary of State's saying that he will consider transitional arrangements. Is he willing to consider with an open mind amendments in Committee and on Report, or other solutions that might be brought forward, to help that particular group of women?
