MPs from all sides of the Commons urged Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride to provide details of a compensation scheme for Waspi women as quickly as possible.Conservative MP Nigel Mills , a member of the Work and Pensions Committee, told the Commons: “I think this issue has gone on long enough and we need now to choose a compensation scheme and get this issue finished.”

SNP MP Hannah Bardell said: “It actually isn’t that difficult, the Waspi women have been screwed over by the state and they’ve been made to wait for years.”Conservative MP Siobhan Baillie , a member of the Work and Pensions Committee, said: “At the heart of this is women saying they were left unable to plan or that their plans for the future were scuppered.
