Proceeding contribution from Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 January 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on State Pension Credit (Disclosure of Information) (Electricity Suppliers) Regulations 2010.

State Pension Credit (Disclosure of Information) (Electricity Suppliers) Regulations 2010

I thank the Minister for those figures. I apologise if I did not ask my question clearly enough, but what I was trying to ask about eligibility was: how many people aged over 70 do the Government estimate to be eligible for the guarantee element of pension credit? That is not the same as how many are getting it and are therefore eligible for this benefit. If the Minister does not have the figures specifically for people aged over 70 now, I would be delighted if he could write to me with the Government’s best estimate.
