Note:
"Others" include asylum seekers who had the habitual
residence test applied to them but were paid benefit under
other provisions.
State Pension
Mr. Bayley: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many (a) divorced and (b) widowed pensioners are receiving a full state pension based on their spouse's national insurance contribution record; and of these how many are also in receipt of (i) income support or (ii) other state benefits. [32074]
Mr. Heald [pursuant to the reply, 3 July 1995, c. 82]: The information given was incorrect. The correct information is as follows:
The figures for widowed and divorced pensioners are not available separately. The total number in March 1993 was 1,783,000. It is not possible to identify how many of these people were receiving income support or other benefits.
Source:
Retirement Pension Statistics Biannual inquiry 31 March 93.
Mr. Bayley: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many women are in receipt of the married women's pension of £35.25; and what is the Government's estimate of how this figure will change over the next 10 years. [32075]
Mr. Heald [pursuant to the reply, 3 July 1995, c. 83]: The information given was incorrect. The correct information is as follows: the number of women in receipt of the married woman's pension of £35.25 at 31 March 1994 is 1,905,140.
An estimate of how this figure will change over the next 10 years is not available. However, over the next 10 years the total of category BL and ABL pensioners is likely to remain approximately stable. Within this group the numbers with category ABL will rise and the numbers with category BL will fall.
In the longer term, due to the effects of home responsibilities protection and the abolition of the married women's reduced rate option, more women will become entitled to a category A pension at over 60 per cent. The numbers with category A pensions will rise and the numbers with category BL and ABL pensions will fall.
Column 450
Note:Category BL pension is payable to a married woman on her husband's contributions at up to 60 per cent. of the standard Category A rate, provided she and her husband have both reached pension age. Category ABL Pension is payable to a married woman and is a combination of Category A and Category BL. Where a married woman's own Category A entitlement is less than 60 per cent. of the standard rate, the pension is supplemented up to that level with Category BL pension based on her husband's contributions.
Social Fund
Mr. Barnes: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many Benefits Agency district offices received increases in their budgets between 1 April 1994 and 31 March 1995 for (a) social fund loans and (b) community care grants. [32846]
Mr. Burt: All Benefit Agency districts received increases to their social fund budget allocations for both grants and loans at 1 April 1994. Details of the initial social fund budget allocations and additional allocations by district for the financial year 1994 95 are in the Library.
Income Support
Mr. Burden: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer of 27 April to the hon. Member for Plymouth, Sutton (Mr. Streeter), Official Report, column 641 , what progress has been made in implementing the joint statement of intent negotiated between his Department and the fuel and water industries concerning procedures for direct payment of fuel and water bills from income support. [32847]
Mr. Burt: The joint statement of intent aims to facilitate proper use of the direct payment scheme for fuel and water charges. Copies have been sent to fuel and water companies, the fuel and water regulators, and to all Benefits Agency district offices. It is for the Benefits Agency and the utility companies at local level to follow the agreed procedures.
State Pension Age
Mrs. Beckett: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he plans to increase the state pension age of women from 60 to 65 years. [33235]
Mr. Heald: Our proposal to move state pension age for women from 60 to 65 was set out in the White Paper "Equality in State Pension Age", Cm 2420, a copy of which is in the Library. The change will be phased in over a 10-year period, commencing April 2010.
Income Distribution
Mr. Bradley: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the percentage contribution of social security to the incomes of those in the bottom 10 per cent. through to 50 per cent. of the income distribution, by decile. [33474]
Mr. Andrew Mitchell: I will write to the hon. Member shortly.

[33146]
Mr. Paice: The number of students in each LEA in England who are undertaking further education (a) aged 16 to 18 years and (b) 19 years and over; and the estimated proportion of each of these age groups who do not receive an award under section 2 of the Education Act 1962, are shown in the following table.
