Back to 60 campaign to submit APPG complaint to parliament

The Back to 60 campaign is to submit its formal complaint regarding the All-Party Parliamentary Group for State Pensions to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.

Earlier this month, the campaign group deemed the APPG’s vote on transitional arrangements to be “wholly invalid”.

Back to 60 has submitted a formal complaint to the parliamentary commissioner Kathryn Stone regarding a breach of voting rules by the APPG for state pension inequality for women.

The campaign group has explained that the APPG voting rules were breached, in a vote on transitional arrangements, due to the involvement of non-MPs, specifically peer group representatives.

“We understand that during the Inquiry, the matter should not be discussed: we are in the throes of the decision,” Back to 60 member Joanne Welch said.

Moreover, the campaign group has announced its intention to launch a comedy play about the 1950s women that will be previewed in autumn this year at Conway Hall, Red Lion Square in London.

Back to 60 stands with other campaign groups and Waspi to stand against inequality and unfair treatment of women born in the 1950s who have experienced changes to their state pension age. Those denied their pension due to these changes are campaigning together as part of the One Voice movement.
