SNP frontbencher Patricia Gibson asked Work and Pension Secretary Mel Stride if a television adaptation was needed to 'embarrass' the Government into payments
The Department for Work and Pensions might be 'embarrassed' into paying WASPI women after a drama similar to ITV's Mr Bates vs Post Office, according to an MP. Patricia Gibson, SNP frontbencher, questioned Work and Pension Secretary Mel Stride if a TV adaptation was needed to "embarrass" the Government into making payments.
Angela Madden, the chair of the WASPI campaign, said: "The secretary of state now says this matter is so complex, he needs yet more months and years of head scratching to sort it out. He has made much of the report being 100 pages long as if he were being asked to digest War and Peace." Former Attorney General Jeremy Wright stated that "maladministration must have consequences" and "must lead to some form of remedy", reports Birmingham Live.
