Civil Servants

Dr. David Clark: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what was the average percentage increase in salaries of non-industrial civil servants, excluding members of the senior Civil Service, in his Department for 1999-2000; and to what extent the pay awards were staged. [121658]

Mr. Rooker: The headline pay settlement for the Department, its agencies and its non-departmental public bodies was 2.80 per cent. on the paybill. Together with the additional funds from staff turnover, staff in post received performance related increases averaging 4.46 per cent. The increases were not staged.

Stakeholder Pensions

Mrs. Lait: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what the target market is for stakeholder pensions; and what the definition of success in that market will be before the Stage 2 of the State Second Pension is introduced. [122592]

Mr. Rooker: Stakeholder pensions are primarily intended for moderate earners--those earning between about £10,000 and £20,000 a year--but many higher earners will also be able to take advantage of the lower charges, greater flexibility, and simpler tax regime which stakeholder pension schemes will introduce.

The Pensions Green Paper explains that we expect the new State Second Pension to become a flat-rate scheme for those on lower earnings when stakeholder pension schemes have established themselves as low-cost, value- for-money, funded second pensions.
