Prime Minister Liz Truss did not rule out raising the pension age as she said she would "do what it takes" to address the UK's economic problems.
The state pension age, 66, is already set to rise to 67 between 2026 and 2028 and then to 68 between 2044 and 2046. But a review due to be published in 2023 is underway and there is speculation the Government could opt to raise it 68 sooner than is currently planned.
With the Prime Minister under pressure to balance the books, she was asked by broadcasters in Birmingham whether she will end up raising the state pension age beyond 67.
