Mrs. Lawrence: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to increase public service pensions from April 2000.[102026]Mr. Andrew Smith: Legislation governing public service pensions requires public service pensions to be increased annually by thesame percentage as State earnings related pensions (additional pensions). My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for SocialSecurity announced on 9 November 1999, Official Report, column 907W, that benefits such as additional pensions will be increased by1.1 per cent., in line with the annual increase in the Retail Prices Index up to September 1999. Public service pensions willtherefore be increased by 1.1 per cent. from 10 April 2000, except those which have been in payment for less than a year, which willreceive a pro-rata increase.
