Debate

State Pension: Triple Lock

Contribution

My Lords, 1.2 million pensioner households are dependent on the state pension. This includes three times more women than men in single-pensioner households. Does the Minister agree that to abandon the triple lock guarantee would plunge the poorest of pensioners into even deeper poverty and inflict hardship on many others who do not have the security of generous additional pensions?
