STATE PENSION AGE INCREASES

Motion Text

That this House deplores the speed at which the increases in the state pension age are being introduced, especially for the group of women born between 6 April 1950 and 5 April 1953; believes that the increase in pension age to 66 should be postponed until 2020; recognises that the increase will cause hardship for a large number of women; and calls on the Government to recognise that the increase in retirement age is not an option for people in certain occupations.
