The Lib Dems have said Ministers must ‘quickly step up’ for 1950s-born women and implement the findings of the PHSO report.
This weekend marks 100 days of Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Government being in power and members of the Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign have reacted furiously to the lack of action from ministers on delivering justice for millions of women born in the 1950s affected by changes to their retirement age.
On four occasions, the DWP was asked when the Government would bring forward proposals to compensate WASPI women, offering the same response - that more ‘time is needed’ to review the findings and recommendations made in the report. State Pension News Angela Madden, Chair of the WASPI Campaign, said: “This Government campaigned on the grounds of being the party of social justice and of getting things done, yet as Labour marks 100 days in power, their lack of progress means ministers risk continuing the can-kicking of the Conservatives.
“Ministers must quickly step up for 1950s-born women and implement the findings of the Parliamentary Ombudsman’s report without delay.” Another said: “It's already been 'looked at' by the Ombudsman. Now Labour you need to stop looking and start doing. Too much prevarication!”
