Pensions Bill

The government has announced a six month delay in the increase in the state pension age in 2020.

Labour has made a final attempt to change the government's reforms of women's state pensions.

The Pensions Bill will have its third reading in the House of Commons on 18 October.

Pensions minister Steve Webb has promised that the goverment will create a transitional arrangement for women hit hardest by the rise in the state pension age.

The Labour opposition should have come up with a solution to help women disproportionately hit by the rise in the state pension age to 66 by 2020, pensions minister Steve Webb says.
