	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2019 answer text <p>The UK State Pension will continue to be payable worldwide when the UK leaves the EU. Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, we have the basis on which to maintain State Pension up-rating when the UK exits the EU for those who are already receiving their UK State Pension as well as future UK State Pension recipients. We will wish to discuss State Pension up-rating for individuals not covered by the Withdrawal Agreement in future talks.</p><p> </p><p>As the Government set out in its Policy Paper ‘Citizens’ Rights – EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU’ we wish to secure continued reciprocal arrangements covering the up-rating of State Pensions even in the event of a no deal exit. If we exit the EU in these circumstances, we will up-rate the UK State Pension for those living in the EU in 2019-20.</p><p /> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 28/01/2019 16:24:31 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

However, in November 2013 there were approximately 1.21 million State Pensions paid outside of Great Britain.
