Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what base year or other reference point they propose to use when calculating the increases required to maintain the value of (1) the basic State Pension, and (2) the full rate of the new State Pension, relative to earnings from April 2030.

From April 2030, the basic and new State Pensions will be uprated by the highest of 2.5%, annual CPI inflation, or the increase needed to return or maintain the State Pension at its share of average earnings as of 2029/30.
