Wage Figures: Sunak must commit to triple lock now
12 Sep 2023
EMBARGO: Immedidate Release
Responding to today's wage figures which would be used to uprate pensions, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
"Rishi Sunak must commit now to the triple lock to ensure the state pension rises in line with the cost of living.
"His failure to commit to the triple lock earlier this week will have left a cloud of uncertainty hanging over struggling pensioners. We also need a guarantee that welfare payments won't be slashed in real terms.
"Families and pensioners should not be made to pay the price for years of economic mismanagement under the Conservatives."
