NDM6697 - United Kingdom Independence Party debate
NDM6697 Neil Hamilton (Mid and
West Wales)
To propose that
the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Notes and
welcomes the campaign of the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI)
group to achieve fair transitional state pension arrangements for all women
born in the 1950s affected by changes to state pension laws.
2. Calls on the
Welsh Government to work with the UK Government to provide the following to all
women born in the 1950s affected by changes to state pension laws:
a) a bridging
pension that supplies an income until state pension age, which is not
means-tested;
b) compensation
for the absence of a bridging pension to those who have already reached their
state pension age;
c) compensation
to all those who have not started to receive a bridging pension by an appropriate
date, which would be sufficient to recover lost monetary interest; and
d) compensation
to the beneficiaries of the estates of those who are deceased and failed to
receive a bridging pension.
