Pensionable Age Task Force Bill 2019

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Creates a Pensionable Age Task Force to examine the right age for starting the State pension, carry out research and public consultation, and make recommendations in a report to the Minister. It also requires the Minister to consider those recommendations and report back, while setting deadlines for the task force to be established, complete its work, and then be wound up. The practical effect is to reopen debate on the planned rises in pension age and to base any decision on evidence and public input.
