At Defence Questions today I raised the case of my constituent Leslie Constable.

Mr Constable is an army veteran and receives state pension, war pension, army pension and attendance allowance. He tells me it is increasingly difficult to heat his home and feed himself when prices are rising so quickly. He relies on charity shops and a coat given to him 40 years ago.

I asked the Minister what the Government is doing to ensure that veterans like Mr Constable are receiving the support they need for a dignified retirement and whether he and his colleagues would finally commit to keeping the pension triple lock.
