Political parties: protect pensioners by committing to increase the Basic State Pension


Political parties: protect pensioners by committing to increase the Basic State Pension
The Issue
Sign the petition today to call on the other UK political parties to match the Conservatives’ commitment to protect the Triple Lock on pensions after 2015 – and give pensioners the security they deserve.
People who have worked hard all their lives deserve peace of mind in retirement.
The Triple Lock, introduced by the Conservatives, guarantees that the Basic State Pension rises every year in line with wages, prices or by 2.5% - whichever is the highest.
It has ensured people’s pensions have risen by £650 since 2010 – helping to guarantee financial security for millions of pensioners.
People who have put so much into society should have the confidence that their standard of living will be protected in retirement – which is why the Conservatives have pledged to keep the Triple Lock after the 2015 General Election.
But this is something that all political parties should back. Sign the petition today and call on other UK political parties to match the Conservatives’ commitment to protect the Triple Lock - and give pensioners security and peace of mind in retirement.
