Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Emma Reynolds)

Due to the Government’s steadfast commitment to the triple lock, pensioners will see an above-inflation increase of 4.1% in their state pension next year, which means that they will be up to £470 better off—and, over the course of this Parliament, over £1,900 better off.
