Mr. Barnes: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what the rates of Unemployment Benefit/ Jobseekers Allowance (Contributions) were for a single claimant over the age of 25 in each year since 1979; and what those rates would have been had the benefit been uprated annually in line with the percentage increases in average earnings. [113933] Malcolm Wicks: [holding answer 19 May 2003]: The levels of social security benefits are reviewed each year and approved by Parliament. A range of factors is considered when reviewing benefit levels. As a contributory benefit Unemployment Benefit was uprated using the Retail Price Index. When Jobseeker's Allowance was introduced in 1996 it was decided that both income-based and contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance would be uprated using the Rossi index. The information requested is set out in the table.
