Last April the wages component of the triple lock was suspended due to to the artificially high increase in average wages and salaries following the end of Covid furlough. So that is essentially saying, 'the PM has confirmed the triple lock will return as normal next year'. Nothing incorrect about that.mustafa said:On this page it states that: She (the PM) has guaranteed that state pensions will continue to increase in line with wages.
