answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2020 answer text <p>This matter is the responsibility of the Kenyan authorities. FCDO officials spoke to the Kenyan High Commission in London last month for an update on the non-payment of pensions to former Kenyan civil servants. I can confirm that the Kenyan Treasury Pensions Department was in touch with Crown Agents Bank in the UK at the beginning of October to request additional information in order to take this matter forward. We will stay in touch with both parties (the Kenyan Treasury Pensions Department and Crown Agents Bank), and continue to encourage them to resume pension payments as soon as possible.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 23/11/2020 12:40:25 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
