Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government if their policy position is as reported by the Office of Budget Responsibility, that the state pension age will reach 68 between 2037 and 2039, when and how this confirmation was given to the OBR; when they anticipate that the necessary legislation will be introduced; what formal notice period they will give of their intention to legislate accordingly; and what publicity they intend to issue so that those affected can adjust their retirement planning accordingly.

The previous government committed to bring forward the rise in the State Pension age to 68 between 2037 and 2039.

The first chance this government will have to consider this issue will be via the State Pension age Review.
