Transitional State Pension Arrangements for Women

Proceeding contribution from Philippa Whitford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2016. It occurred during Opposition day and e-petition debate on Transitional State Pension Arrangements for Women.

I would like to challenge the figure that was quoted by a Member on the Government Benches. The Opposition spokesman might have the correct figure, but the figure reported from the Department for Work and Pensions investigation in 2004 was just above 40%, not 75%. Surely, given such a cataclysmic change, every single one of these women should have had a simple letter on the doormat in 1995.
