Swinney: Waspi pension decision an ’embarrassment’

Scottish Labour social justice spokesperson Paul O’Kane said: “Many will be disappointed that no compensation is being offered to the thousands of women impacted by the Tory decision to raise their pension age without proper notice.

“Of course the UK government should be focused on fixing the economic mess it inherited, but in recognising this injustice we would hope to have seen a compromise position that would have allowed for some form of compensation for the Waspi women most in need from this long running failure.”

The MSP added it was “right that the UK government has recognised the injustice suffered by the Waspi women”.

Anne Potter, co-ordinator for Waspi Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire, said she was “totally shocked” by the announcement.
