HL Deb 19 January 1999 vol 596 c91WA
Lord Stallard

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they expect to be in a position to introduce measures ensuring equal treatment regarding retirement pensions between expatriate pensioners domiciled in Commonwealth countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and expatriates resident in other countries. [HL430]

Baroness Hollis of Heigham

We believe our priority should be to concentrate any additional resources that may become available on those pensioners resident in the UK who have most difficulty in making provision for themselves and who would otherwise have the lowest incomes in retirement.
