HC Deb 08 February 1999 vol 325 c68W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will update his estimates, based on the Family Resources Survey 1996–97 of receipt of means-tested benefits and liability for income tax among pensioners consistent with his answer of 5 November 1997,Official Report, columns 249–50. [68150]

Angela Eagle

The information is not currently available. Information on liability for income tax is not directly available from the Family Resources Survey. We need to refine the raw data further before we can provide the information. We anticipate that we will be able to do so after February 1999.
