During the debate, MPs raised concerns about the risks to older people and pensioners of the cost of living crisis. At the end of the debate, MPs agreed a motion calling on the Government to commit to maintaining the State Pension triple lock in financial year 2023-24. This motion is not binding, so it is still up to the Government whether to maintain the state pension triple lock.
