Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will a publish a list of newspapers in which adverts on the change to the state pension age for women were placed since 2010.
As reported in the House of Commons Work and Pensions Committee report; Communication of state pension age changes, published in March 2016, there were more than 600 mentions of state pension age equalisation in the national broadsheet and tabloid press between 1993 and 2006 – an average of just under one per week – on “front pages, News and City sections as well as personal finance pages”, and most concentrated “in 1993-95 and again from 2005-06”.
The Department does not have any records that suggest it has used paid newspaper advertising since 2010 specifically to advertise State Pension age changes.
