State Retirement Pensions: British Nationals Abroad
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking on frozen state pensions for British citizens living in Canada.
- Answer
-
UK State Pensions are payable worldwide, without regard to nationality and are only uprated abroad where we have a legal requirement to do so, for example in countries with which we have a reciprocal agreement that provides for uprating. This approach has been supported by successive governments over many years.
