Evidence Submitted To Parliamentary Committees

Committees consider policy issues, scrutinise Government work, expenditure, and examine proposals for primary and secondary legislation. Committees particularly relevant to WASPI are The Work and Pensions Committee (Chair: Stephen Timms) and The Women and Equalities Committee (Chair: Caroline Nokes). The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on State Pension Inequality for Women (Co Chairs: Andrew Gwynne, Peter Aldous) are considering how best to resolve the injustices caused by the DWP’s Maladministration of the Communication of changes to the State Pension age. We regularly check the Committee schedules, and will provide evidence to any inquiry which can influence the Government to improve the situation of WASPI women. Below are links to evidence already accepted by various inquiries.
