HC Deb 18 January 1977 vol 924 c174W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many firms will need to contract-out of the State pension arrangements by the end of 1977, if the 8 million workers envisaged are to be contracted out.

Mr. Ennals

It is not yet possible to estimate how many employers, or employees, are likely to be involved in the contracting-out arrangements.
