Liz Jarvis MP votes for compensation for 5,180 WASPI women in Eastleigh

This follows an independent report that found they had suffered an injustice due to a failure to properly inform them of pension age changes.

Jarvis said that she was “proud” to vote for the bill that would have righted a “gross injustice”. 

Eastleigh’s MP went on to express their “immense disappointment” that Conservative and Labour MPs had failed to back it and promised to “keep fighting” until the 5,180 WASPI women in Eastleigh got the compensation and justice they were owed.

Liberal Democrat MP for Eastleigh, Liz Jarvis said:

“Today I was proud to vote for a bill to tackle the gross injustice faced by thousands of WASPI women here in Eastleigh."

“I have already heard from countless women in our area who have suffered due to this scandal and have been working with the WASPI All Party Parliamentary Group since I was elected to make these case for those impacted."

“For Conservative and Labour MPs to fail to back these women is an immense disappointment. The Liberal Democrats will continue to stand up for the WASPI women at every turn and keep fighting until they get the justice that they deserve.”
