To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he plans to increase the state pension age of women from 60 to 65 years. [33235]
Mr. Heald
Our proposal to move state pension age for women from 60 to 65 was set out in the White Paper "Equality in State Pension Age", Cm 2420, a copy of which is in the Library. The change will be phased in over a 10-year period, commencing April 2010.
