MPs to debate women affected by state pension age increases

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the re-equalisation of State pension ages should have been part of the 1975 Sex equality legislation. That way, women's State pension age could have increased by 1 year every decade from, say, 1980 or 1985, and we wouldn't have all this faff.

I can only assume that it wasn't done because Harold Wilson was in power - and he only wanted the vote attracting 'good' bits of equality instead of the 'bad' bits.

Spoken as a 1950s woman (who was fully aware of the 1995 changes when they were plastered all over the media over 20 years ago).
