Debbie Abrahams MP, Labour’s Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commenting on Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures on income inequality, said: 

“These figures demonstrate how important it is to maintain pensioners’ income if we are to work towards a more equal society. 

“However, much more needs to be done. That’s why Labour has committed to maintaining the triple lock on the value of pensions until 2025. Only yesterday, I asked the Government whether they would match Labour’s commitment on the triple lock but they refused to do so. Only a Labour Government can build a more equal Britain.”
