The Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign has announced that Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey will speak at a demonstration set to take place in Parliament Square on Wednesday, October 30 to coincide with the UK Government’s Autumn Budget. The House of Commons will be packed with MPs from across the nation to hear Rachel Reeves deliver her first Budget statement as Chancellor.
In a post on social media, the official WASPI campaign said: “Looking forward to hearing @EdwardJDavey speak at our #WASPI Can’t Wait - Compensate demo on 30 October. Great support from @LibDems for action on compensation.” Based on current Office for National Statistics figures, an estimated 3.5m women have been affected by increases to the official age of retirement.
