Closed petition Keep triple lock on pensions
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.
