HC Deb 05 November 1973 vol 863 c78W
Mr. Haselhurst

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people in England and Wales, according to the latest statistics, are in receipt of a pension additional to their State retirement pension.

Mr. Dean

It is estimated that in 1972 about 3½ million people in Great Britain were in receipt of a pension additional to their State retirement pension, including some 2 million in receipt of occupational pensions. I regret that information relating to England and Wales alone is not available.
