South Holland and the Deepiings MP Sir John Hayes is pressing for a meeting with the prime minister to battle for women .
Sir John has been a long-time supported of the WASPI women who were let down when the age of retirement was changed.
“The Parliamentary Ombudsman has set out in detail how the WASPI women were let down, and suggested financial redress in response. The Prime Minister suggested he agreed with this just before he took office, now is his opportunity to come good on this.
“Some of the WASPI women were given just an 18-month notice of a six-year increase in their pension. It is a fundamental British principle that if you work hard and contribute, you are entitled to security in later years. This social contract was broken and so the WASPI women are rightly seeking justice – they can be assured that I will continue to fight on their behalf in Parliament.
“The fact this is a cross-party campaign shows the strength of our arguments, and I hope the Prime Minister will meet with me and the other MPs leading efforts to seek justice,” he added.
WASPI women were born in the 1950s and were given little notice of the change in retirement dates with no time to make financial plans.
