State Pension Age Independent Review
(asked on 20th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the reasons are for the time taken to publish the Government's response to the Cridland review.
The Pensions Act 2014 sets a statutory requirement for the Government to publish its review of State Pension age before 7 May 2017, but this was delayed because of the General Election being called before that date. The event of an election meant that the new Government needed to consider and make their own judgements on such issues. This was a significant decision with a weighty evidence base and it would have been irresponsible of this Government not to give this issue the consideration it deserved.
The review was published on Wednesday 19 July 2017. Please find the below web link to the published report.
