asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the estimated number of retired persons in receipt of indexed occupational pensions from Government, local government and nationalised industry employment.

It is estimated that there are some 2½ million people receiving pensions from public sector schemes. Nearly all of them would be entitled to index-linked pensions.
