To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of State Pension age changes on 1950s-born women in Leeds East constituency.

Written Question
State Retirement Pensions: Women
Monday 26th January 2026

Asked by: Richard Burgon (Labour - Leeds East)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment his Department has made of the potential (a) costs and (b) mechanisms available to deliver compensation in line with the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman’s report on Women’s State Pension age communications, HC 638.

Answered by Torsten Bell - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

As the Secretary of State set out on 11 November 2025, we are retaking the decision made in December 2024 as it relates to the communications on State Pension age. The process to retake the decision is underway and it is important that the government give this full and proper consideration.

Retaking this decision should not be taken as an indication that Government will necessarily decide that they should award financial redress.

We will update the House on the decision as soon as a conclusion is reached.
