Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury's oral contribution of 22 June 2021, Official Report, column 745, what recent assessment she has made of state pension inequality in respect of the ongoing Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman investigation and women born in the 1950s.

All Ombudsman are independent of government. It would be inappropriate to comment while the PHSO investigation is ongoing.
