PENSION AGE FOR WOMEN BORN IN 1954

Early day motion 1289, tabled 22 April 2013 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 15 members.

That this House notes the case of Harlow resident Pauline Julian-Ross, who was born in 1954, has worked from just after her 15th birthday and has never been unemployed; further notes that women of precisely her age will have to wait longer for their pensions than those in many other age groups, including those born just a few years apart, because of how the rise in the pensionable age for women has been tapered; and therefore calls on the Government to see what additional special assistance can be given to women born in that year.

Signatures by party: Conservative 3, DUP 3, Labour 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Independent 1.
