David Cameron: "I want people to know that they can have dignity and security in their old age"
The state pension will continue to rise by at least 2.5% a year until 2020 if the Conservatives win the next election, David Cameron has said.
The PM pledged to keep the "triple lock" system, which ensures the state pension goes up by whichever is higher - inflation, wages or 2.5%.
He said it was "fair" to prioritise pensions even at a time when benefits for younger people were being slashed.
Labour said it supported the triple lock "in principle".
