Part of Question Time — scottish executive – in the Scottish Parliament at 2:30 pm on 5 October 2000.
My question follows from the minister's previous answer. Will the minister confirm that, if the link between pensions and average earnings had not been broken, a pensioner couple would now have an extra £2,500 and a single pensioner £1,800, which would be enough to install their central heating now, next year and the year after?
