§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what estimate he has made of the cost of imposing a threshold of £125 in relation to incapacity benefit. [99080]
§ Mr. BayleyWe estimate that setting a threshold of £125, below which no account would be taken of pension income, would increase benefit expenditure by £10 million in the first year, £45 million in the third year and £120 million after ten years.
