Pensioners’ benefits

Asked if pensioners’ benefits had not been protected like other areas in the Spending Review, the PMS referred journalists to the Treasury who were leading on the Spending Review process. Asked specifically if the PM was committed to protecting the benefits of pensioners, the PMS said that the Government was doing a lot to help pensioners. Asked if the pledge the PM had made did not extend beyond the General Election, the PMS said the PM stood by the commitments made to pensioners as set out in the Coalition Agreement and that was for the entirity of this parliament. Decisions beyond this parliament have yet to be made.
