HC Deb 26 November 2001 vol 375 cc645-6W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate is provided by the Government Actuary's latest survey of occupational pension schemes on(a) the proportion of such shares which undertake annual reviews of the level of pensions currently payable, (b) the proportion of occupational pensioners who have received post-retirement pension increases which are equivalent to, or better than, limited price indexation and (c) the average proportion of trustees of such schemes who are appointed by the employer. [17996]

Ruth Kelly

Information about pensions increases is given in chapter 9 of "Occupational Pension Schemes 1995—Tenth Survey by the Government Actuary". Further information on the relationship between pension increases granted by a scheme and the appointment of trustees is not readily available.

Mr. Webb

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects to publish the report of the Government Actuary's Department 2000 survey of occupational pensions. [17995]

Ruth Kelly

The Government Actuary will release the results of his survey of occupational pension schemes as at 2000 in mid 2002.
