§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the percentage of costs in fees, commissions and administration of the state earnings related pension scheme; and what are the comparable costs for personal pensions.
§ Miss WiddecombeThe Department does not keep separate accounts of the administrative costs of the state earnings-related pension scheme; neither does it keep information on the costs in fees, commissions or administration costs for personal pensions, as these are a matter for the individual providers.
