Are not the Government creating another form of low-income pensioners? I refer to those who have an occupational pension of, say, £10 a week as a result of the husband having worked in the pits for 40 or 50 years. If that occupational pension is increased by 50p per annum, for example, housing benefit is lost and poll tax is increased. After two small increases to the state pension and the miners' pit pension, the widows of retired miners will be worse off than hitherto.
