To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the cost of uprating pensions for people who retired in EU27 states in 2018.

Whilst we do not have this information readily available, the Department does publish figures on State Pension expenditure. The Department’s Benefit Expenditure and Caseload Tables can be found here:
