Trade Agreements: Canada
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, during discussions with the government of Canada about a future bilateral trade agreement, the subject of the frozen state pensions of UK pensioners who have retired to Canada has been discussed.
- Answer
-
Discussions with Canada to date have focused on continuity in our trading relationship through a transition of the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) into a UK-Canada bilateral agreement. The subject of frozen state pensions has not been a feature of our trade dialogue with Canada. This policy area is primarily a matter for the Department for Work and Pensions.
