HC Deb 03 July 1979 vol 969 c567W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services which member countries of the European Community pay a pension for partial incapacity for work.

Mr. Prentice

All member States have provision for the payment of a pension for partial incapacity for work where this results from an industrial accident or occupational disease. In other cases of partial incapacity, all except Ireland and the United Kingdom have provision for payment of a pension. Further details are given in the comparative social security tables for member States of the European Communities which are compiled by the Department. A copy of the tables is in the Library of the House.
