The radio program Money Box discusses the recent increase in the State Pension age to 67, with a review considering future adjustments based on life expectancy data. It also pays tribute to Louise Botting, former presenter of Money Box who passed away at 87. The episode covers rising mortgage rates and features an interview about the Bank of England's selection of animals for new banknotes following a public vote involving nearly half a million participants.

Story summary
The State Pension age in Britain increased again recently as part of its gradual shift from 66 years old to 67. The law mandates another increase to 68 by 2046, but a recent review might change that timeline. Dr Suzy Morrissey, appointed last year by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, is preparing an independent report on future state pension age rules based on current life expectancy data. Louise Botting, the former Money Box presenter, passed away at 87 after battling a short illness.
