To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many pensioners in Amber Valley have benefited from the combined impact of Winter Fuel Payments, the Christmas Bonus, free television licences for the over-75s and the age addition for the over-80s. [145806]

Mr. Timms

All 18,000 pensioners in Amber Valley should have benefited from the £200 Winter Fuel Payment this year and from the Christmas Bonus. At least 7,000 of them are also receiving free TV-licences, introduced by this Government, and some 5,000 the age addition for the over-80s.
