Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 145 and 148 together.

The tabular statement below, based on returns from the relevant Bodies, shows the assets and liabilities at 31 December 2008 of the covered pension funds listed in Schedule 1 of the Financial Measures (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009. The asset figures have in general improved in the interim but are subject to market fluctuations. As it is not proposed to transfer any assets from these funds to the National Pensions Reserve Fund before 31 December 2009, there will be no exposure for the taxpayer for 2009.
