Neither the Government nor Labour have so far committed to setting up a compensation scheme for the 3.6 million Waspi women who have been impacted
Women from the Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign assemble outside Parliament during Prime Minister’s Questions on International Women’s Day last year Former Labour work and pensions secretary Lord Blunkett has said the party may struggle to afford the potential of over £10bn in compensation for the millions of women hit by changes to the state pension.
Pressure is also building among Conservative MPs for the Waspi women to be compensated, with Tim Loughton, who previously co-chaired an All-Party Parliamentary Group on the issue, saying on Sunday that the DWP “should be ashamed” over their handling of pension changes for women born in the 1950s. “The money that we were paying compensation has to come from other taxpayers. So we do have to take time to get this fair,” he told theMr Hunt also denied that his party was leaving “huge unpaid bills” to the next Parliament, insisting that organising the compensation was a “complicated” issue.
Prior to the report, shadow Chancellor Rachell Reeves had warned on tight the state of public finances if her party wins the next election.
