§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will estimate, for each of the 10 financial years starting from 2003–04,(a) expenditure on SERPS if the state second pension were not to be introduced, 78W (b) expenditure on SERPS if the state second pension were to be introduced, (c) expenditure on the state second pension, assuming implementation in 2003–04 and a move to a flat rate scheme in 2008–09 and (d) the additional cost of national insurance rebates to those earning less than £9,000 per annum on each of the two alternative regimes proposed in his recent consultation document. [104140]
§ Mr. RookerThe information is contained in the following tables. It is based on the assumptions that the State Second Pension will be introduced in April 2002 and that it will move to a flat-rate scheme in 2006–07 (five years after Stakeholder Pension Schemes are introduced). Costings based on introduction of the State Second Pension in April 2003 and a move to a flat-rate scheme in 2008–09 are not available at this time.
All figures are expressed in 1999–2000 price terms and are rounded to the nearest £0.1 billion. The Low Earnings Threshold in State Second Pension is set at £9,500 pa for that year.
