Liz Truss sat in the Commons on Monday as Mr Hunt outlined the tax U-turns to MPs
"Pensioners deserve so much better than Liz Truss and her disastrous mistakes that are leaving older people paying the price," he added. The government's comments on pensions come after ministers were told to draw up spending cuts ahead of a further economic statement form Mr Hunt at the end of this month.
The chancellor - appointed after Ms Truss made her previous commitment on pensions - told them he was "not making any commitments on any individual policy areas".
