State Pension Age

Debate between Lord Watts and Baroness Altmann

Wednesday 2nd March 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Altmann]

The independent review will be considering long-term changes to the state pension age. It will not be recommending any changes before what is currently legislated for up to 2028.

[Lord Watts (Lab)]

My Lords, will the review take into account the ability of people to work beyond the age of 65, bearing in mind that some people have a very physical job and may not be able to work after that?

[Baroness Altmann]

My Lords, as the terms of reference make clear, the independent review will consider changes in life expectancy as well all other relevant factors.
