To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the impact of proposals in the pre-Budget Report as they specifically affect women in Wales. [136869]

Mr. Hanson

My right hon. Friend announced a number of measures that will benefit women in Wales.

Women will benefit from improved fuel allowances, an increase in pension entitlements and also from improved New Deal measures. This Government welcome the invaluable contribution that women make to family life and economic stability, and we are determined to support families and provide the best opportunities for women.
