MOTION BY COUNCILLOR M FRAMPTON AND BAILIE M WILLIAMSON 
Motion To Stand in Solidarity with The Women Against State Pension
Inequality (WASPI) Women to be Paid Compensation  
Women who were born in the 1950's had their rights to retirement age changed from
age 60 to 65, and later to 66 without being informed of this.
It has recently been reported by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
that the Department for Work and Pensions was guilty of “maladministration” by
failing to inform women of their retirement age changes.
I would call upon the Council Leader to write to the UK Government to say Perth and
Kinross Councillors stand by the WASPI Womens' right to compensation. We ask
that the UK Government act now and commit to a compensation payout scheme for
the women who were affected by the changes.
