HC Deb 09 June 1992 vol 209 c138W
Mr. Burden

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he has any plans to pay expatriate pensioners living in Commonwealth countries their full qualified and annually adjusted pensions, on the same basis as paid to expatriate pensioners living in European Community countries.

Miss Widdecombe

United Kingdom pensioners living in the following Commonwealth countries receive annual uprating increases to their state retirement and widows pensions: Barbados, Cyprus, Jamaica, Malta and Mauritius. We have no plans to extend payment of such increases to pensioners living in other Commonwealth countries.
