It seems that these are only proposals although from what I'm hearing they will be adopted.

Assuming they will be adopted, is the following correct in the context of someone who has already paid the currently required 30 years and is therefore entitled to the full state pension under the current legislation?

As you may be aware, there are currently changes being planned to the UK state pension scheme. One of the changes is increasing the number if qualifying years from 30 to 35.
This means effective 2017, if you have only paid 30 years, you will only have the right to 30/35 of the state pension. I'm not sure if we can buy additional years to bring it back up to the minimum required.
