Debate on the increase in the state pension age
15 June 2016
The debate on the state pension age increase will no longer take place on 30 June and a new application will be made for a debate in the coming weeks.
Backbench Business Committee
The Backbench Business Committee meets weekly on Tuesdays to consider requests for debates from any backbench Members of Parliament on any subject.
The Committee then has to decide how to allocate the limited Parliamentary time it has at its disposal. The Committee's meetings are always conducted in public and can be watched on Parliament TV.
