Labour's Andy McDonald also pressed the DWP on the steps it is taking to consider the issues in the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's (PHSO) final report
Labour MP Andy McDonald has called on the Department for Work and Pensions to allow MPs to "vote on proposals for financial redress" for the millions of women impacted by the changes to their State Pension age. The Middlesbrough and Thornaby East representative also questioned the DWP last week about the actions it's taking in response to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's final report.
She added, "Now the election has concluded we need to consider the views that have been expressed on all sides." The question put forward by Mr McDonald regarding the DWP's acceptance of maladministration findings in the PHSO's report was met with a consistent reply from Ms Reynolds, mirroring the response given previously.
Angela Madden, Chair of the Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign, criticised the current government's inaction on their cause: "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."
