Pensions

Conservatives

The Conservatives have ensured the so-called ‘triple lock’ on pensions will stay in place until 2020, after which it the protections for pension rate increases will be relegated to a ‘double-lock’.

The current lock, first introduced by the coalition government in 2011, has guaranteed a 2.5% increase in pensions every year.

A crackdown on rogue pensions funds is also planned if the Tories win the election who have promised to give the pension regulator more powers to punish those who “wilfully left a pension scheme under-resourced”
