Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Oral Answer of 25 January 2017, column 295, what extra money the Government has put into reducing the changes in women's pensions; and if he will make a statement.

During the passage of the Pensions Bill 2011, the Government has made a concession worth £1.1 billion to limit the impact of State Pension age increases for those women most affected by them. As a consequence, no women will experience increases of more than 18 months compared to the previous timetable.
