Senior MPs across party lines are demanding Mel Stride and Penny Mordaunt to urgently publish compensation proposals and schedule a debate for women affected by the WASPI issue, following a critical PHSO report. The report highlighted significant injustices faced by women born in the 1950s due to changes in the state pension age. Despite the urgency expressed by campaigners and the death of 3000 affected women since the report's release, both the Conservative and Labour parties have not committed to any compensation. Meanwhile, reports suggest that a compensation proposal guaranteeing at least £10,000 for the WASPI women could be published soon.
