Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Emma Reynolds)

I was the first Minister for eight long years to meet Women Against State Pension Inequality campaigners to hear their experiences directly. However, we do need time to carefully consider the ombudsman’s report and evidence before we can outline our approach.
