§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what action he is taking to assist persons on low incomes to enhance their pension levels.
§ Miss WiddecombeAppropriate personal pensions were introduced in 1988 to give people the chance of contracting-out of the state earnings-related pension scheme and investing that money in their own pension arrangement. They have been further assisted in building up their pension by the extra 2 per cent. incentive which is payable for the five years from 1988 to 1993.
