Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on improving pension transition arrangements for women born in the 1950s.
The Government has been clear that the introduction of further transitional arrangements cannot be justified, given the imperative to focus public resources on helping those who are most in need.
There are no plans to go beyond the £1.1 billion concession introduced when Parliament considered the changes.
