HC Deb 23 February 1998 vol 307 cc119-20W
36. Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans she has to revise the basis of the calculation for the setting of state pension levels. [29112]

Mr. Denham

As we said in our manifesto the basic State pension will be retained as the foundation of pension provision in retirement and be increased at least in line with prices. We are considering the basic pension, including its value, as part of our pensions review.
