Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has confirmed that the UK's Conservative Party will include the pensions triple lock in their manifesto for the upcoming election. Despite this commitment, Hunt has not promised compensation for the WASPI pension campaigners, stating there is no additional funding available. The triple lock pledge aims to safeguard pensioners' incomes for at least five more years if the Conservatives remain in power.
