The Government is set to restore the link between the State pension and earnings, which was abolished by Margaret Thatcher in the mid-eighties.

But Whitehall sources denied a report yesterday that the most favoured option involved restoring the link only for those aged 75 and over.

Gordon Brown has previously been wary, preferring an inflation-linked basic State pension bolstered by means-tested credits for those with no other form of income.
