In the final session of Prime Minister’s Questions, Prime Minister, Theresa May, has faced criticism for failing to show commitment for the state pension ‘triple lock.’

Opposition Leader, Jeremy Corbyn, said a Labour government would guarantee the lock on pensions, with at least a yearly increase of 2.5%.

SNP Leader at Westminster, Angus Robertson, said he was concerned that ‘triple-lock’ would not survive after the election.

The Prime Minister replied:

I’ve been very clear that under this Government we have seen pensioners benefit as a result of what we’ve done to the basic state pension to the tune of £1,250 a year.

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has said previously this policy ‘only further proves the Tories are abandoning older people.’
