I was pleased to reaffirm my ongoing support for the WASPI campaign and 1950s/60s women at their rally outside Parliament yesterday on International Women's Day.
They continue to make a strong and clear case against state pension inequality and the gap between retirement and pension that has caused so many to suffer because of inadequate communication.
Some have estimated that they will have lost upwards of £50,000 from their pension as a result.
Many women only received communication a few years before they were expecting to retire - some received none.
We are united in a desire for pension equality and share a concern for the means by which that is reached.
It is unfair for individuals to have been left out of pocket at such an important transitional moment in their life.
I support their calls for more significant support and scrutiny of the factors that have led to this unjust situation.
