HC Deb 30 November 2000 vol 357 c856W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will estimate the value in(a) 2030, (b) 2040 and (c) 2050 of the full basic state pension combined with a full state second pension as a percentage of the rate of minimum income guarantee, assuming that the MIG is indexed to earnings and the basic state pension and state second pension are indexed to prices from their levels announced for 2003.

Mr. Rooker
