IF MPS want to amend the Pension Bill this autumn, to include a proposal to base future pension increases on consumer price index (CPI) instead of the higher retail price index (RPI), then they should apply this across the board to everyone, including those on final salary pensions and all government employees, not just to the private sector.
Anything else would be opposite to Mrs May’s recent promises on capitalism working for all, not the privileged few.
