Oral Answers to Questions

Baroness Chapman of Darlington Excerpts

Monday 9th May 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Vara]

I thank my hon. Friend for that very good question. He will be aware that last October the Department and the Pensions Regulator jointly launched a refreshed communications campaign entitled “Don’t Ignore the Workplace Pension”, to help build on and maintain the success of the previous campaign in raising awareness of automatic enrolment. The campaign includes digital and social media advertising, as well as television and radio, and has helped to raise awareness and guide people towards further information.

[Jenny Chapman (Darlington) (Lab)]

It was pleasing to hear the Minister say that predictability and clarity were important in pensions. Will he apply those principles to the 2.6 million WASPI women?

[Mr Vara]

We have applied clarity, as I have said at the Dispatch Box on many occasions during the course of many debates.
