19. Sir Geoffrey Johnson Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what estimates he has made of how much his social security reforms will save by the end of the century; and if he will make a statement. [32992]

Mr. Burt

The major reforms announced to date are expected to reduce public spending by around £5 billion a year in today's prices by the turn of the century and by £15 billion in the longer term.
