The minister who first signed off on the pensions triple lock has suggested he thinks there is not a case for keeping the measure “indefinitely”.

Former Liberal Democrat MP Sir Steve Webb, who served as pensions minister in the coalition government, thinks there is still a case for keeping it now, and there is still “a pretty low state pension” in the UK.
