§ Mr. Shersbyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimate he has of the proportion of state retirement pensioners, including the self-employed, who are also in receipt of occupational pensions.
§ Mr. NewtonOur best estimate is for the year 1984, when about 37 per cent. of individuals in receipt of state retirement pension were also in receipt of an occupational pension. No sufficiently reliable information is available for those people who were self-employed and had made private pension arrangements.
