Women’s State Pension Age (Ombudsman Report and Compensation Scheme) — 28 Jan 2025 at 16:15

That leave be given to bring in a Bill to require the Secretary of State to publish measures to address the findings of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman in its report entitled “Women’s State Pension age: our findings on injustice and associated issues”; to require the Secretary of State to publish proposals for a compensation scheme for women born between 6 April 1950 and 5 April 1960 inclusive who have been affected by increases in the state pension age; and for connected purposes.
“All your working life you’ve got in mind the date on which you can retire and get your pension, and just as you get towards it, the goalposts are moved and you don’t get it, and it’s a real injustice.”
“They want their money back, and quite rightly so.”
“Pleasure to speak in the state pension age debate and talk about women who are being treated so badly. Govt please listen. #WASPI”.
“I want to keep fighting for a fair deal for the WASPI women.”
“I have always supported local campaigners and will continue to stand up for the WASPI women of Tameside. I know you will fight on.”
“Labour will correct this historic wrong.”
“Under my leadership, WASPI women will finally receive the justice they deserve.”
“Labour will right the historical wrong of pension discrimination by compensating more than 300,000 women in Scotland with an average of £15,000. When Labour wins, Scotland’s women win.”
“The walls of Westminster are so high.”
