Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will respond to correspondence of 15 May 2024 from the Work and Pensions Select Committee to her predecessor, o making recommendations in relation to the report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman entitled Women’s State Pension age: our findings on injustice and associated issues, published on 21 March 2024.

We will need time to review and consider the Ombudsman’s report along with the evidence provided during the investigation.

We need to consider the views that have been expressed on all sides including the recommendations made by the Work and Pensions Select Committee and the points raised by representatives from the WASPI Campaign who I met on the 5^th of September.

Once this work has been undertaken, the Government will be in a position to outline its approach.
