Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an estimate of the number of people residing in Northern Ireland who are likely to have been underpaid their state pension as a result of their national insurance record not including the correct entitlement of home responsibilities protection from 1978 to 2000.
It is not possible to estimate the numbers of people in any particular geographical location who are potentially affected; data has not been recorded in a way that would allow this.
