State Retirement Pensions: Overseas Residence

Mr. Dunne
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how much was paid in state pensions to British expatriates in each overseas country in each year from 1997 to 2008.

Angela Eagle
The information requested is not available, as nationality is not routinely held on our statistical data sources. Information on state pensions paid overseas, irrespective of nationality, can be found in the DWP pages on the internet (table SP2):
