Any plans for compensation proposals look set to be delayed until September.
The new Pensions Minister has confirmed plans to meet representatives from the Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign. The announcement from Emma Reynolds MP will come as a step forward for millions of 1950s-born women waiting to hear how the UK Government plans to address cross-party calls for compensation following recommendations made by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman .
“This government respects the work of the Ombudsman. Now the election has concluded we need to consider the views that have been expressed on all sides. However, the WASPI campaign has warned that the responses given to the four MPs asking about a compensation plan suggest that Labour is planning to ‘rehash and reopen’ the question of redress, rather than press forward.
“As the new Secretary of State says this scandal has been going on for years, so the idea it is all a new issue for them to take a view about is really for the birds. They have had the Ombudsman’s very clear report for four months even before they took office.
