To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if pensions payable to Ministers and sitting public representatives in the Houses of the Oireachtas are coordinated or integrated with the Social Welfare pension; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38409/12]

The Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) contribution class applicable to Ministers and Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas, Class K, does not entitle them to the full range of social insurance benefits including the State Pension and, therefore, the application of integration to their occupational pensions does not arise.
