# Burnham sets out plan to reform triple lock to pay for social care

By Maike Currie — 2026-09-29

Maike Currie, vice president of personal finance at PensionBee, feels moving to a double lock could become expensive.

She said: “With inflation already above the Bank of England’s two per cent target and vulnerable to external shocks such as higher energy and oil prices, an inflation-linked double lock could still prove expensive if no cap or control mechanism is in place.”
