Responding to the UK Government announcing that there will be no compensation for WASPI women, Far North MP Jamie Stone said:
“I am shocked and astonished by Labour’s failure to deliver.
“Faithfully made promises have now been broken, and the Government should be ashamed that it has turned its back on millions of pension-age women who were wronged, ignoring the independent Ombudsman’s recommendations.
“For years, myself and my Liberal Democrat colleagues have pushed the Government to fairly compensate WASPI women in line with the Ombudsman’s recommendations.
“As Chair of the Petitions Committee, I have agreed to debate this massively important issue in the new year.
“I, myself, will have a lot to say on the matter.”
