The bill was due to have its second reading in Parliament but it was postponed
WASPI campaigners have been hit with disappointing news as the bill regarding DWP compensation has been delayed. Originally set for its second reading in Parliament today , it has now been postponed until May 17.
SNP MP Alan Brown voiced his exasperation at the delay, stating: "I am disappointed I have had to reschedule the potential second reading of the bill. This is proof that the way Westminster operates with the Government of the day being able to dictate timings needs to be overhauled." Mr Brown, advocating for the bill following instructions from the DWP to compensate women affected by previous pension changes, commented: "Like so many injustices created by Westminster, the lack of resolution for the 3.8 million WASPI-Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign-women is a disgrace."He underscored the predicament of the 3.
He went on: "For nine years, this place has debated the matter, hearing harrowing individual stories, with many MPs, from across the Chamber, pledging they would do all they could to help those women. But for nine years the Government have ignored the plight of those women.
"For those now trying to make the best of their retirement, while facing a cost of living crisis, polling has established that half of WASPI women have struggled to pay essential bills in the past six months and, worse, a quarter have struggled to buy food. We know that this is an injustice; indeed, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman judged as far back as July 2021 that the Department for Work and Pensions was guilty of maladministration due to lack of direct communication.
