Written Question
State Retirement Pensions: Women
Monday 7th October 2024

Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion Preseli)

Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, if she will facilitate a vote on proposals for financial redress contained in the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman report on changes to women's State Pension age, published on 21 March 2024.

Answered by Lucy Powell - Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons

The Government is taking the necessary time to properly review and consider the Ombudsman's report, given the significance and complexity of the issue. Once the Government has outlined its approach, opportunities for the House to debate this matter would be considered in the usual way.
