Following the Queen’s Speech, a WASPI spokesperson said: “WASPI is disappointed but sadly not surprised that this Government has ignored the injustices faced by 1950s-born women.

"Whilst the Pensions Schemes Bill is a welcome move in improving the protection of people’s pensions, the Government has once again failed to protect 3.8 million 1950s-born women.

"Changes to the State Pension age were maladministered, leaving a specific cohort of women with little to no time to prepare for up to a six year delay to their pension.

"Greater protection is necessary, but the Government must right the wrongs of its past policies if it is to regain the trust of the public.”
