Mr. Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will estimate the sum required to produce an annuity of the same size as the minimum income guarantee/pension guarantee credit for pensioners with pension inflation protection in each year of the MIG pension guarantee credit scheme. [188810] Malcolm Wicks: Table 1 estimates the amount that would be required to produce an inflation-protected annuity equal to the standard MIG/guarantee credit for a single person. Table 2 estimates the amount that would be required to close the gap between a full basic state pension and the standard MIG/guarantee credit. Table 1: The amount required to ensure an RPI escalating annuity income equal to the MIG/PC guarantee at the point of retirement _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Notes: 1. The guarantee rate is for a single person, entitled to the highest age premium in the years before the age related premia were equalised. 2. The RPI escalating annuity rate has been provided by the Annuity Bureau for a single male aged 65; it is the top rate in December of each year (except 2004 where the top rate at September has been used) for a £100,000 sum. 3. The amount required has been rounded to the nearest £1,000.

The amount required has been rounded to the nearest £1,000.

Mr. Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will estimate the rate of inflation in Iraq during the period of Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) rule; and what changes there were in charges for (a) petrol, (b) water and (c) electricity during the period of CPA rule. [182107] Mr. Rammell: Due to hand-recording of information, data for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as defined in Iraq are available only some months in arrears. However, based on an index of 100 in January 2003 the following monthly values for the CPI were recorded for the period end June 2003 to February 2004: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Value End June 2003 131.4 August 2003 110.6 September 2003 123.7 October 2003 130.1 November 2003 132.8 December 2003 135.8 January 2004 135.1 February 2004 128.0 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. It is likely that this pattern reflects the early appreciation of the Iraqi Dinar over this period and the subsequent stability of the Dinar: Dollar exchange rate, which has resulted in a fall in the cost of imported goods. The Coalition Provisional Authority made no changes to the charges levied for petrol, water or electricity.
