This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Mhairi Hunter:- "Council supports the equalisation of the State Pension Age between men and women but deplores the unfair way that changes have been made, faster than originally planned and with little or no notice given to those affected, giving them insufficient time to prepare for a later retirement date; is concerned that as a result many women born in the 1950's are living in hardship; praises the Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign for the tireless work they have been engaged in to highlight this issue. Council instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Prime Minister asking her to intervene and instruct ministers to make fair transitional pension arrangements for women born on or after 6th April 1951 who have unfairly borne the burden of the increase in the State Pension Age; and more specifically calls on the UK Government to take immediate steps which enables letters to be sent now to men and women, review the design of the new 'State Pension Statement' and develop a programme for ongoing awareness raising and education.".
