To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Stedman-Scott on 6 April (HL14579), why they have not responded yet to the request on 16 December 2020 by members of the Canadian Parliament for a reciprocal agreement on the uprating of pensions for UK state pension holders residing in Canada; and what assessment they have made of the impact the delay in responding could have on the negotiations for new trade agreements.
