Since 2015, more than 219,000 1950s-born WASPI women—Women Against State Pension Inequality—have passed away. What more are Ministers doing to ensure that WASPI women get the pensions they deserve?

On the specific matter he asked about, he will know that there is ongoing work by the ombudsman, and I cannot comment until that is completed.
