Govt: Waspi compensation not good use of taxpayers' money
The homelessness minister says compensating Waspi women over changes to the state pension age "wouldn't be an appropriate use of taxpayers' money".
Rushanara Ali adds the government "recognises this is going to be disappointing for women born in the 50s", but that Labour remains committed to the "vital" triple-lock system.
