In yesterday’s confidence vote debate the Prime Minister said: “when you have worked hard all your life, you will get a good pension and security and dignity in your old age”. Not if you are a WASPI woman, and not if you are a couple where only one of you is over pensionable age, because a written statement on Monday showed that there would be a £7,000 pension cut for the poorest elderly couples. I called on the Prime Minister to come to the House and correct the record.
