§ Dr. McDonaldasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the tax revenue figure in 1985–86 and 1986–87 if all those now paying into the state earnings-related pension scheme transferred to private personal or company occupational pension schemes in 1985–86 and 1986–87.
§ Mr. MooreAn estimate of the change in tax revenue would depend upon the assumptions made about the levels of contribution by employers and employees to private and occupational schemes after transfer from the state earnings-related scheme.
§ Dr. McDonaldasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the loss of revenue if those pensioners now in receipt of the state earnings-related pension received the basic state pension alone, in 1985–86 and 1986–87.
