Lords ChamberNoble Lords know that the triple lock was suspended for this year in very difficult circumstances in the country, but the Chancellor has confirmed that it will be reinstated.
My Lords, how much has the state pension increased by since 2010, both as a proportion and as an amount of money?
As I said earlier, since 2010, the state pension has risen by £2,300 in cash terms and the full-year basic state pension is now over 45% higher than in 2010.
