Andy Burnham to signal review of state pension triple lock

Andy Burnham to signal review of state pension triple lock

Labour leader Andy Burnham will suggest reviewing the pension triple lock in his speech on Tuesday. The review is aimed at funding his plans for an NHS-style social care system that would be free for users. A change to the triple lock could save between £15 billion and £22 billion by 2030, or be means-tested.
