Written Answers
State Retirement Pensions: Uprating
Asked by: Rachel Hopkins (Labour - Luton South and South Bedfordshire)
Wednesday 18th September 2024

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she plans to negotiate a reciprocal agreement with the Australian government on uprating state pensions.

Answered by Emma Reynolds - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

There are no plans to negotiate a new reciprocal social security agreement with Australia.

UK State Pensions are payable worldwide, without regard to nationality, and are only uprated abroad where there is a legal requirement to do so - for example in countries with which we have a reciprocal agreement that provides for up-rating.

The policy on up-rating UK State Pensions paid overseas is a longstanding one and has been supported by successive Governments for over 70 years.

Up-rating is based on levels of earnings growth and price inflation in the UK which has no direct relevance where the pensioner is resident overseas.

Over many years, priority is given to those living in the UK when drawing up expenditure plans for additional pensioner benefits.

Australia: Foreign Relations
Asked by: Andrew Rosindell (Conservative - Romford)
Monday 9th September 2024

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has met his Australian counterpart since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

The Secretary of State for Defence met his Australian counterpart, the Hon. Richard Marles MP, on 13 July 2024 when the Minister joined the Secretary of State on a visit to Sheffield Forgemasters.

Armed Forces: Radiation Exposure
Asked by: Nick Timothy (Conservative - West Suffolk)
Friday 6th September 2024

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of amending the eligibility criteria for the Nuclear Test Medal to include UK service personnel who took part in (a) Operation Bagpipes in 1954 and (b) all other US tests.

Answered by Al Carns - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans)

The Nuclear Test Medal was designed to recognise the unique contribution of those personnel who served at the locations in Australia and the Pacific where the UK Atmospheric Nuclear Test Programme, including clear-up operations, took place between 1952 and 1967. In particular, the Medal recognises the contribution made by these personnel to the development of the UK's independent deterrent.

The agreed eligibility criteria for the Medal do not currently include UK personnel who were not present in the defined test areas, personnel who monitored nuclear tests conducted by other nations, or personnel who were present at later, non-atmospheric, tests.

We recognise the sacrifices and the huge contribution that Nuclear Test Veterans have made to the UK’s security. The Secretary of State for Defence has directed the Department to look at the commemorative medal criteria, in consultation with other stakeholders.
