§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to her answer of 2 April 1998,Official Report, column 670, for what reason her Department's family resources survey does not contain reliable information on pensions; and what plans she has to conduct research into the pension scheme membership of individuals at different income levels. [38473]
§ Mr. DenhamWe are aware that information collected in the Family Resources Survey on pensions needs some refinement, due to high levels of non-response and mis-reporting, and we have commissioned research to help us improve the questions on pensions. We will consider plans for research on pension scheme membership of individuals at different income levels at a later date.
