This Senedd:
1. Supports the calls for:
a) financial redress for 1950s-born women who have been negatively affected by changes in the state pension age; and
b) mediation between all 1950s women’s groups and the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions as soon as possible.
2. Notes that:
a) the subject is complex as a result of maladministration; and
b) the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's investigation did not take into consideration direct discrimination and wiped out 10 years of maladministration.
3. Calls on the UK Government to consider posthumous payments after so many women have passed away before resolution of this issue.
