State Retirement Pensions: Women

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to 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, whether compensation proposals will form part of a future fiscal event.

Answer

I was the first Minister in 8 years to meet the WASPI campaign group and listen to their concerns.

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

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