EMBARGO: Immediate release
Responding to Jeremy Hunt announcing the pensions triple lock will be in the next Conservative manifesto, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney MP said:
"This is a shameless election trick by the Conservatives, just weeks after they hiked taxes on pensioners in the budget. After almost every economic promise was broken in their last manifesto, how can anybody trust a word they say? Jeremy Hunt is yet again taking pensioners for granted."
