Letter of correction from Mr. O’Brien
An error has been identified in the written answer given to the right hon. Member for Islwyn (Mr. Touhig) on 24 June 2008. The original answer referred to the number of households in Islwyn in receipt of pension credit and stated:
“As at February 2008 there were 3,910 pensioner households—4,860 individuals—receiving pension credit in Islwyn constituency.”
The correct answer should have been:
“As at February 2008 there were 3,900 pensioner households—4,850 individuals—receiving pension credit in Islwyn constituency.”
