HC Deb 31 January 1955 vol 536 cc670-1
11. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance what reciprocal arrangements exist between Great Britain and Western Germany under which persons entitled to pensions and insurance benefits from one country are entitled to continue to draw such benefits notwithstanding the fact that they take up residence in the other country.

Mr. Marples

None, Sir. A reciprocal agreement covering all National Insurance and Industrial Injuries benefits except unemployment benefit is under negotiation, and I hope it will be signed very shortly. Negotiations for a separate agreement on unemployment benefit are expected to begin in the near future.
