Mr. Nigel Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will publish the Government's response to the Third report
of the Social Security Committee, "Uprating of State Retirement Pensions Payable to People Resident Abroad" (HC 143 of Session
1996-97). [21424]
Mr. Lilley: The Government welcome the Committee's report, which focused on the long-standing policy of uprating UK state retirement
pensions when paid abroad in specific countries. The report is an important and useful study. The report contained one
recommendation: "That there should be a free vote at prime time to allow Members to express their opinion on the principle of
whether the Government should pay upratings to some or all of those pensioners living in countries where upratings are not paid at
present".
Whipping arrangements are a matter for the business managers of all parties. The Government note that the House had the opportunity
to debate the uprating of pensions paid abroad during the passage of the Pensions Bill in July 1995. Over 200 hon. Members voted on
amendments aimed at providing uprating increases, which were heavily defeated.
The Committee's report rightly recognises that priorities for public expenditure will inevitably be taken into account in
considering the issue. Almost £1 billion a year is paid to UK pensioners abroad. It would cost another £250 million a year to bring
frozen pensions up to the rate that would be paid if the pensioner were in the UK.

Mr Alfred Morris: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what were the savings to his Department in 1995-96 of ending the
link between disability benefits and annual earnings at current prices. [16782]
Mr. Burt: [holding answer Tuesday 25 February 1997]: The information is in the table.
The link between the benefit uprating and earnings was broken in 1980 to ensure that long-term provision for the sick and disabled
should be sustainable.
Expenditure savings 1995-96
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
£ million
Incapacity benefit 1,495
Invalidity allowance/age addition 80
Attendance allowance/disability living allowance 1,335
NCIP/severe disablement allowance 105
Invalid care allowance 105
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Notes:
1. Estimates are rounded to nearest £5 million.
2. Estimates converted to 1996-97 prices using GDP deflator.
3. Estimates take account of offsetting costs in the income related benefits.
4. Disability living allowance includes the higher and middle rate care components. The mobility components and lowest rate of care
component have been excluded from the calculation as they were never linked to earnings.

Mr. Alfred Morris: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make a statement on the reasons for the corrections
to his answers to the right hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe of 11 November, Official Report, column 90 and of 4 December,
Official Report, columns 714-15 in respect of disability benefits; and if he will update his answers to include figures for the year
1995-96. [16780]
Mr. Burt: [holding answer 25 February 1997]: The estimates of the additional costs of uprating invalidity benefit, including
invalidity allowance, in line with the higher of earnings or prices in my replies of 11 November 1996, Official Report, column 90
and 4 December 1996, columns 714-15, did not take account of the fact that between November 1980 and November 1985, the rate of
basic invalidity pension was abated by 5 per cent. in lieu of taxation and that an equivalent abatement applied to the rates of
invalidity allowance between November 1980 and November 1981.
The revised estimates in my answers of 10 February, Official Report, columns 78-79 were based on the assumption that such an
abatement would not have applied if the link with earnings had been maintained.
The estimates also incorporated refined calculations, based on information that had not been originally available, of the offsetting
savings arising from fewer claims to income-related benefits.
