A KEIGHLEY woman was among a group of pension campaigners who presented a book of personal testimonies to the Prime Minister's official home.

Christine Holland, from Riddlesden, attended the We Paid In You Pay Out event on January 30 with her friend Sally Lambert, who is from Barnoldswick, along with a third campaigner, Baildon resident Kay Lloyd.

While in London they also went to the House of Parliament to meet politicians who support their cause, including Keighley MP John Grogan and MPs Chris Williamson and Rosie Duffield.

The book of testimonies they presented to 10 Downing Street describes the impact a six-year state pension age delay is having on many women born in the 1950s.

We Paid In You Pay Out argues these pension changes brought in by the Government are "unfair and discriminatory".

The campaign notes that women born in the 1950s who have worked and paid into the system for decades have not had time to ensure their financial security after learning that pension changes mean they will not be able to afford to retire at 60.

Explaining the trip to London, Mrs Lambert said: "This was not a protest or a demo. We were there to represent all who contributed to the book of testimonies who were unable to attend due to ill-health, work or caring commitments.

"Keighley MP John Grogan is going to organise a coffee event in order to raise our profile, and to encourage more local women to join our group."
