§ Mr. TylerTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will show as a table for each EU member state the level in pound sterling of the basic state pension, the SERPS or mandatory private pension and a total of both for an employee on national average earnings, married in a one-income household with no dependent children at time of retirement from the latest figures available.
§ Mr. HagueThe information requested is not available and could be obtained only at disproportinate cost. However the report of a study commissioned by the Department last year—the Watsons report—contains this information for six EC member states, including the United Kingdom. A copy of that report is in the Library.
