Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when the last submission of evidence to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's investigation into the communication of changes to women's State Pension age was made by her Department.
The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has not completed their 3-stage investigation. It would not be appropriate to comment whilst the investigation is ongoing; and section 7(2) of the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 states that Ombudsman investigations “shall be conducted in private”.
