The WASPI campaign has been given a huge boost after a proposed law to establish a compensation claim cleared its first Commons hurdle.
SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn was given permission by MPs to introduce the Women’s State Pension age (Ombudsman report and compensation scheme) Bill to the Commons for further consideration.

The Commons voted 105 to zero, majority 105, in favour of the motion after a division was triggered by SNP MPs shouting both aye and no.
The vote was viewed as a symbolic show of support for the compensation proposal as private members’ bills introduced by MPs face a battle to become law if they do not receive Government support and fail to secure parliamentary time to clear the necessary stages.

Mr Flynn’s Bill would require ministers to publish measures to address the findings of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) report, which recommended the UK Government pay compensation to women born in the 1950s whose state pension age was raised so it would be equal with men.
