Questions in Parliament

Business of the House – 22nd January 2025

Jim McMahon Labour/Co-operative, Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton

WASPI women are still waiting for justice and closure. The out of court agreement reached in December between campaigners and the Government saw the Department for Work and Pensions agree to a time-limited period to conduct a review. However, the parliamentary ombudsman investigation took six years alone before reaching its findings and recommendations on compensation. Given how many constituencies and constituents are affected, may we have a debate in Government time on the impact of this issue and urge the Government to come forward with a firm proposal?

Alan Campbell Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons, Chair, Modernisation Committee, Chair, Modernisation Committee

The Secretary of State has made it clear that he is looking at this matter as a matter of urgency and will bring forward his proposals at the earliest opportunity. My hon. Friend will have the opportunity to comment at that point.

Business in the House – 15th January 2026

Douglas McAllister Labour, West Dunbartonshire

The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, in his statement to the House on 11 November, advised that he would “retake” the earlier decision of the Government on the question of how 1950s-born women were affected by the maladministration of pension age changes communication. I have almost 6,000 WASPI women in my Constituency, and they are rightfully impatient for this matter finally to be resolved. Does the Leader of the House expect the Secretary of State to update the House soon? If so, when is that expected?

Alan Campbell Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons, Chair, Modernisation Committee, Chair, Modernisation Committee

As my hon. Friend said, we are looking again at the decision regarding WASPI women. I know that this is an issue of serious concern to many of our constituents, and we want to resolve the matter as soon as we can. The Secretary of State is absolutely committed to updating the House on this decision. I cannot give a date for that, but as soon as a conclusion is reached, I expect that he will want to inform the House.

Prime Minister: Engagements 14 Jan 2026

Kemi Badenoch: The Prime Minister says that no one is going to listen to us—who is going to listen to him? The winter fuel allowance? U-turn. WASPI women? U-turn. The two-child benefit cap? U-turn. Grooming gangs inquiry? U-turn. The family farms tax? U-turn. Digital ID? U-turn. Jury trials?

Meetings with Ministers of the Department of Works and Pensions and the Treasury

Lee Pitcher and Julia Buckley

Yesterday, Julia Buckley MP and I met with the Minister for Pensions, Torsten Bell MP, to raise the concerns of the WASPI – Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign campaign directly with the government.

I will continue taking this issue right to the top on behalf of the 6,000+ WASPI women in Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, ensuring their voices are heard where the decisions are made.
