Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department will take to implement its commitments on the triple lock for state pensions.
As a result of the Triple Lock, the full yearly basic State Pension is now over £2,050 higher than in 2010 in cash terms.
Decisions on the rates for State Pensions are made each Autumn as part of the Up-rating review by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.
We are committed to ensuring that older people are able to live with the dignity and respect they deserve; the State Pension is the foundation of support for older people
