Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to increase the speed of rectifying the underpayment of the state pension to 237,000 people.

The Government is fully committed to ensuring that these historical errors, made by successive Governments, are addressed as quickly as possible. By the end of March 2023, we plan to have around 1300 staff dedicated to the State Pension LEAP exercise.
