New Scots MP Alison Taylor says not all WASPI women should get compensation

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Offering all women impacted by the pensions scandal compensation would “not be fair or proportionate,” Alison Taylor MP has said – days after being accused of hypocrisy.The MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North yesterday spoke out following a Sunday Mail article exposed Labour’s hypocrisy after the party denied thousands of women compensation over state pension changes.Our sister title and the Express reported how senior figures and newly-elected representatives, including Ms Taylor, were among dozens of party MPs to support the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) Scotland campaign before the General Election.The women, who were all born in the 1950s, said they were told too late that the age for the state pension was going to rise from 60 to 65 – leaving them no time to make plans or adapt financially.In March, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) said that they should be compensated for the UK Government’s failure, with payouts of up to £2,900 per person recommended.But the UK Government announced on December 17, 2024, that the women – including 11,000 in Renfrewshire – wouldn’t be getting payouts; and said to do so would be a “further burden on the taxpayer”.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will
