Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 1 March 2018 to Question 129209, on state retirement pensions: women, if she will estimate the cost to the public purse of transitional arrangement number 23 of Table A of her Department’s response to Freedom of Information request 378/2016.

We do not have an estimate of the cost to the public purse of transitional arrangement number 23 of Table A of her Department’s response to Freedom of Information request 378/2016 as the information requested is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
