looking at the report and using the  present criteria  for increase in pensions  and these are the figures that  i didn't produce  but er  they look pretty bleak as i said because  what the pensions can expect next year  will be eighty four p for single pensioners and one twenty eight in that area for a couple  and then we had look at  we have some concern of what happened yesterday in a statement by the chancellor of the exchequer who said he is going to  extend v a t  and also it has now been  that instead of putting on half of it in nineteen ninety four  he put the full  pile at seventeen and a half percent in nineteen ninety four because what was being saved  is that if he's  leave the other half to nineteen ninety five it'll be round near the elections and er there could be some difficulty.
