§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make a statement on the estimate by NatWest Life that 20 per cent. of those currently of working age can expect to be comfortable in old age; and if he will list the policies which he has to ensure that those who are currently unemployed will not require support from means-tested benefits in old age. [60664]
§ Mr. DenhamThe estimate by NatWest Life forms part of one of the many surveys on retirement income that are produced from time to time by a wide variety of organisations. It is not the Government's policy to comment on the publication of such reports. The Pensions Review is currently looking at all aspects of the basic State Pension and second pensions. We intend to publish a Green Paper on pensions later this year.
