Closed Keep triple lock on pensions

Closed on

That the Government stick to what they said last year after freezing it that the Triple lock would be put back in place to be paid out in April 2023.

Because the Government said and promised that triple lock would be put back. This is not a benefit this is the rights of all pensioners who have paid into system for years. You can’t keep bringing policies out as a Government to get votes then take them out it’s just not right.

    State pension triple lock debated by MPs

    On Monday 8 November, MPs debated the state pension triple lock. This was an opposition day debate on a motion chosen by the Labour Party.

    Read a transcript of the debate

    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.
