Burnham says he will end pensions triple lock from 2030 to help fund national care service
- Andy Burnham said the government will change the state pension triple lock from April 2030 by removing its link to average earnings.
- Under the proposed system, pensions would rise annually by inflation or at least 2.5%.
- Burnham said the savings would help create a free-at-the-point-of-use National Care Service and protect low-income pensioners from care charges.
- The current triple lock will remain unchanged during this Parliament, in line with Labour’s manifesto commitment.
