The records of my Department are not kept in a way which would enable the specific information asked for to be supplied. But as regards the general position, I would refer the hon. Members to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Altrincham and Sale (Mr. Erroll) on 4th March and to the reply given earlier today to Questions 4 and 5. As regards arrears of claims for increased pensions on retirement, the number of cases outstanding in England to the end of January has now, been reduced below the estimated figure of 20,000 which I gave last week.
