HL Deb 22 July 1993 vol 548 cc61-2WA
Earl Russell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How the projections in The Growth of Social Security would be affected if part-time earnings were to grow at a rate of 3 per cent. per annum above average earnings.

Lord Henley

It is not possible to estimate the effect of a differential increase in full or part-time earnings.

However, in practice, the projections of future benefit expenditure would be unlikely to be substantially altered if part-time earnings rose by 3 per cent. per annum more than full-time earnings
