Written question asked by Martyn Day (Scottish National Party) on Wednesday, 12 June 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 17 June 2019. It was answered by Guy Opperman (Conservative) on Thursday, 20 June 2019 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.

State Retirement Pensions: Women

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much her Department has spent on advertising the state pension age increase for women.

Answer: The Department for Work and Pensions does not hold a detailed record of the cost of advertising changes to men and women’s State Pension age since the passage of the Pensions Act 1995. The Department has previously provided information to the House of Commons in a multitude of ways that clearly demonstrate the extensive steps the Department of Social Security and then the Department for Work and Pensions, took to communicate State Pension age changes at a significant cost to those departments.
