Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the amount of time it will take for the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's report into maladministration over changes to the State Pension age to be completed.

The Department has not made an assessment of the amount of time it will take for the Ombudsman to complete his report. The Ombudsman is responsible for setting the timeline for his investigation.
