	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>This matter has been comprehensively debated on many occasions in Parliament. The Government will not be making changes to its policy on state pension age for women born in the 1950s, in respect of the 1995, 2007 and 2011 Pension Acts. DWP Ministers have met with a number of constituents who have been affected by changes to the State Pension age.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government does not intend to make further concessions in addition to those arrangements already made for women affected by the acceleration of increases in State Pension age that have already been made.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 19/12/2017 12:51:36 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>Women retiring today can still expect to receive the State Pension for 23.5 years on average – almost three years longer than men. Even after equalising women’s State Pension age (SPa) with men’s, women will spend on average around 2 years more in receipt of their State Pension (SP) because of their longer life expectancy.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The new State Pension is actually much more generous for many women, who have been historically worse off under the old system. By 2030, over 3m women stand to gain an average of £550 extra per year as a result of these changes. If SPa had not been equalised, women would spend on average over 40% of their adult life in retirement.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 19/12/2017 17:59:54 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe
