The SNP will attempt to force a vote in the House of Commons next week over compensation for Waspi women.
SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn will present a bill in parliament on Tuesday which demands the Labour U-turns and pays out to women affected by the change in state pension age.
The Nationalists reckon it will command cross-party support from opposition parties including some backbench Labour MPs. Some Scottish Labour MPs have indicated they would vote against the Government on the issue.
Flynn said: “Waspi women have been badly let down by the Labour Party, in particular, who have broken yet another election promise by refusing to offer any compensation despite previously saying they would. It’s time to stop the broken promises and make good on their word”.
It comes after the Scottish Parliament voted unanimously this week to demand the UK government provide financial compensation for the women.
Flynn said: “The SNP will bring forward a bill in the House of Commons next week to ensure Waspi women finally get the financial compensation and justice they are entitled to, after years of being fobbed off by untrustworthy Tory and Labour governments.
“Waspi women have been badly let down by the Labour Party, in particular, who have broken yet another election promise by refusing to offer any compensation despite previously saying they would. It’s time to stop the broken promises and finally make good on their word.
“Just this week, every single party in the Scottish Parliament unanimously voted for an SNP government motion demanding the UK government provide compensation to Waspi women.
“I am pleased that the SNP Waspi compensation bill already has cross-party support from MPs of all the main parties – but, with a supermajority in parliament, what matters now is how Labour MPs choose to vote.
“Scottish Labour MPs must finally do the right thing and vote for this bill to ensure compensation for Waspi women. Otherwise, voters in Scotland will know that their empty promises are worthless, and they can’t be trusted to stand up for Scotland.”
