HC Deb 05 March 2001 vol 364 cc62-3W
16. Mr. Clifton-Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to review the system of paying retirement pensions to ensure that payments are made from the actual day of entitlement rather than from the following Monday. [150498]

Mr. Rooker

There are no plans to change the present arrangements, which work well and take account of the sensitivities at the time the pension is no longer required as well as when it is claimed.
