STATE PENSION AGE INCREASES

Early day motion 283, tabled 20 June 2013 by Fabian Hamilton (Labour). Signed by 23 members.

That this House deplores the speed at which the increases in the state pension age are being introduced, especially for the group of women born between 6 April 1950 and 5 April 1953; believes that the increase in pension age to 66 should be postponed until 2020; recognises that the increase will cause hardship for a large number of women; and calls on the Government to recognise that the increase in retirement age is not an option for people in certain occupations.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, DUP 2, Alliance 1, Independent 1, Scottish National Party 1.
