Question

Will the Prime Minister give a clear and unambiguous commitment to maintaining the triple lock on the state pension?

Answer

I have been very clear that under this Conservative Government we have seen pensioners benefit to the tune of £1,250 a year, as a result of what we have done to the basic state pension, and I am clear that under a Conservative Government pensions and incomes will continue to increase.
