§ Mrs. BeckettTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will state the value in real terms, both in 787W absolute figures and as a percentage, of retirement and other state pensions and all other welfare and national insurance benefits and allowances paid in November 1979 in relation to those to be paid from April 1989; and if he will indicate the actual figure for each benefit in each year.
§ Mr. ScottI regret that it will only be possible to carry out the comparisons requested once the April 1989 retail prices index figure is available.
