Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions pursuant to his answer of 23 April 2004,Official Report, column 709W, on pension forecasts, how many individuals have received a combined pension forecast; and how many of that number have received a forecast on (a) one, (b) two, (c) three and (d) more than three occasions. [171102]

Malcolm Wicks

The informal ion requested is not available in the format requested. Such information as is available is as follows.

DWP has supplied 1,120,048 state pension forecasts to employers or pension providers for inclusion in combined pension forecasts. However the number of individuals who have received combined forecasts will be less than the total number of forecasts issued. This is because:

all of the employers and providers currently delivering combined pension forecasts issue them annually to their scheme members and therefore some individuals will have received more than one forecast over the period since the service has been available;

some individuals may receive a combined forecast from more than one pension provider.
