Written Answers
Manufacturing Industries: Yemen
Asked by: Sarah Coombes (Labour - West Bromwich)
Wednesday 21st January 2026

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions she has had with Yemeni community groups on the cessation of pension payments to Yemeni steelworkers.

Answered by Torsten Bell - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

We recognise the tragic conflict in Yemen is hindering the normal means of administrating pensions for those based abroad. In May 2025, I held a meeting with several Members of Parliament who represent Yemeni pensioners facing challenges receiving their State Pension payments. Since then, we have supported individual cases and taken steps to support pensioners living in Yemen.

Previously, officials met community leaders in 2022.

Manufacturing Industries: Yemen

Wednesday 21st January 2026

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if his Department will take steps to reinstate the pensions of Yemeni steelworkers who worked in Britain.

Answered by Torsten Bell - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

Pension payments to Yemen are being disrupted due to banking and currency issues, war, international sanctions and some issues over verification of identity. We are looking at ways to ensure payments are completed.

Our dedicated Yemen telephone number can be found on GOV.UK ( International Pension Centre - GOV.UK) and includes a Yemen-Arabic language translation as part of the opening message and we provide callback and translation services. We urge anyone who is having issues with their State Pension to contact us via this dedicated helpline.

Additionally, the Department is working with the Yemeni banks to enable payments in different currencies in order to get payments to the intended recipients.

Manufacturing Industries: Yemen
Asked by: Sarah Coombes (Labour - West Bromwich)
Wednesday 21st January 2026

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people she estimates have been impacted by the cessation of pension payments to Yemeni steelworkers who worked in Britani.

Answered by Torsten Bell - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

We are unable to identify which State Pension claimants are ex-steelworkers and therefore unable to provide any estimate of the number of people whose payment has stopped.

As of May 2025, there are 832 State Pension recipients in the Yemen.
