Pensions are, with few exceptions, annual amounts, and the records available show annual ranges only. Particulars of certain ranges of annual amounts of State pensions were given in reply to a Parliamentary Question by Deputy Thomas J. Fitzpatrick (Cavan) on 9th February last. If the Deputy puts down a question next week, I will give him figures for the number of pensions in the ranges under £50 a year and from £450 to £525 a year.
