Under the proposals, the inflation and 2.5% elements would stay, but the link to earnings would become looser. This could mean smaller rises in some years than under the current triple-lock system.

MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis cuts through the confusion and explains how the proposals could work in practice in a new video mini-briefing.

Martin hosted a live YouTube 'Ask me anything' session yesterday evening (Thursday 1 October).
