New Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has hinted the triple lock on pensions could be on the table as he ripped up Liz Truss's tax-cutting plans.
Mr Hunt refused to commit that the state pension would rise in line with inflation in April as planned during a grilling by MPs over the Government dramatic economic U-turn.
The Tories committed to maintaining the so-called triple lock in the 2019 manifesto, which rules that the state pension must rise in light with whichever is highest - inflation, average earnings or 2.5%.
