Debbie Abrahams MP, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, raised a Point of Order today on the Government’s failure to meet its legal deadline to set out its state pension age timetable. Debbie said:

“This chaotic Government is breaking its own laws by refusing to set out its timetable for the state pension age.”

“Should they implement the recommendations of the Cridland Review, up to 34 million people will be expected to work longer.”

“Given their complete failure to adequately communicate the equalisation of the state pension age for women, it is absolutely vital that this Tory Government comes clean with its plan now.

“In our manifesto Labour is committed to leaving the state pension age at 66, as part of our plans to ensure a secure and dignified retirement for the many, not just a few.”
