HL Deb 11 December 1973 vol 347 c1150WA
BARONESS PHILLIPS

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What part of the retirement and supplementary pension is for heating costs; and on what length of heating season and on what costs it is calculated.

LORD ABERDARE

Retirement pensions and supplementary benefit scale rates do not comprise any specific amounts for heating or other costs, since these must vary with individual circumstances and preferences.
