Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what are the comparative retirement pension rates and national insurance contribution rates within the European Economic Community countries.

Mrs. Chalker

The latest information I have is contained in "Social Benefit Tables for Member States of the European Communities: Position at 1 January 1980", prepared by the Department. A copy is in the Library of the House and I refer the hon. Member to pages 39–54 and 117–118.
