WASPI hustings - WASPI is a group of campaigners supporting women born in the 1950s who were given little notice of the increase in pension age.
Anne-Marie has been a firm supporter of WASPI in her two years as the MP. She has been an active member of the APPG for WASPI (more HERE), has regular meetings with Northumberland WASPI (see more HERE) and has presented their recent petition to Parliament (see HERE). She also sends regular email updates to WASPI members in the Berwick-upon-Tweed constituency, detailing what she is doing on the issue on their behalf in Parliament.
Anne-Marie firmly believes the best way to seek consensus moving forwards is to work together constructively cross-party, and to use her influence as a Conservative in a Conservative Government to persuade Ministers to listen.
Anne-Marie was the first Conservative MP (before the dissolution of Parliament ahead of the general election) to sign the WASPI pledge for the 2017 general election.
She will be attending the hustings event, organised by Northumberland WASPI, on Tuesday 23 May at 19:30 at Berwick's Swan Centre for Leisure.
