Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with pensioner organisations regarding the impact of the reduction in the exchange rate of the pound sterling on the incomes of citizens in receipt of the UK state pension who live outside the UK in (1) the EU, (2) the Overseas Territories, and (3) elsewhere in the world.

The DWP does not hold information on pensioner incomes overseas. The exchange rate is always subject to fluctuation and as a result State Pension payments in other currencies will change depending on the exchange rate at the time.
