"Dear Mark
The LibDems have said many times that they will show fairness to pensioners. Of the one million British state pensioners who are living abroad in retirement, 500,000 have their pensions indexed as promised, BUT the other 500,000 have their pensions frozen.
Will the LibDems press parliament to make sure that ALL British state pensioners receive the indexed pension they paid for when they and their employers contributed regular payments to the National Insurance Fund? Surely where they live in retirement is totally irrelevant!"

"I have been told that your party has no intention of indexing the state pensions of half the British pensioners who live abroad. Is this correct? The fund into which they paid is growing and there IS enough money to give parity to this small minority of British senior citizens, who retired abroad. Why are they not given parity with the other half of British pensioners who also live abroad and who do receive their indexing?"

"
We do indeed increase the level of
State Pension paid to UK citizens in the European Economic Area and Switzerland; or countries where we have
reciprocal social security agreements which allow for increases to be paid there. Everywhere else the pension is frozen. The reason for this is simple.
The costs of uprating everywhere would be £470m each and every year – a figure that would rise annually
.
The Government’s priority is to help the least well off pensioners living in this country and it will continue to help them so that the pensioners of Halifax are able to have a decent income in retirement.
