HC Deb 21 July 1994 vol 247 c623W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to increase the pension supplement for 80-year-olds.

Mr. Hague

The 25p age addition to state retirement pension paid to people who are over 80 was introduced in 1971. No Government have increased the age addition since its introduction and there are no plans to do so.
