HC Deb 30 March 1993 vol 222 cc169-70W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make it his policy to publish gender-disaggregated statistics on private and occupational pension provision.

Miss Widdecombe

Where available, information relating to occupational and personal pensions is provided on a gender-disaggregated basis on request. We have no plans to alter that arrangement.

Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will place in the Library a copy of the report by Watson Europe on pensions in Britain and Europe.

Miss Widdecombe

[pursuant to her reply, 29 March 1993]: I am arranging for a copy of the research data provided by Watson Europe to be placed in the Library today. The net benefit totals given for each of the family models covered by this study are expressed in sterling equivalents. A summary table showing figures which reflect purchasing power parity, derived from OECD data, is included. None of the figures includes the value of health benefits.
