Westminster Hall - WASPI Debate

  • Tweet
Wednesday, 5 July, 2017
  • Speeches in Parliament

As co-chair of the soon to be re-established All-Party Parliamentary Group for WASPI, I took part in today's packed Westminster Hall debate on #WASPI. The sheer number of MPs present is a sign of the growing strength of the campaign. I have attended every #WASPI and march in Parliament I possibly could and I certaintly have noticed new faces attending the debates. That is a great credit to the WASPI women who have campaigned so hard for so long to right this injustice.

You can watch my speech below were I welcome new Members joining the ranks of the campaign, pledge my committment to re-establishing the #WASPI APPG and urged the Minister to finally deliver on the transitional measures that were promised years ago.

Keep up the fight, this issue is not going away.

Women State Pension Inequality Campaign

Women State Pension Inequality

Changes that came in a number of years ago are impacting on women born in the 1950s and are seeing their pensionable age rise from 60 to 66. I have had a number of representations from constituents and I think the changes are unfair. Whilst I am supportive of equalising the pensionable age between men and women, what I think has been missed here is that these women have been given very little notice of when these changes were coming in, in some cases just 18 months. This gave them very little time to make other previsions.
