State Retirement Pensions: Northern Ireland

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an estimate of the number of people residing in Northern Ireland who are likely to have been underpaid their state pension as a result of their national insurance record not including the correct entitlement of home responsibilities protection from 1978 to 2000.

Answer

It is not possible to estimate the numbers of people in any particular geographical location who are potentially affected; data has not been recorded in a way that would allow this.
