(asked on 16th January 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the number of households that have fallen into poverty as a result of the equalisation of the State Pension age.
This question was answered on 24th January 2023
Changes to State Pension age were made over a series of Acts by successive governments from 1995 onwards, following public consultations and extensive debates in both Houses of Parliament.
We do not hold any recorded information of an impact assessment that informed the rises in State Pension age of the Pensions Act 1995.
