Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Lower the state pension age to 65

When you turn 66 (and in future 67) and you still have to work it is too old.
Some jobs are physical for example the building industry.
I understand the Government find it is not possible to bring the age down to 60 due to the cost, but 65 is a good age and affordable for them to do.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
