But Mr Green highlighted their pensions undergo a temporary change when they reach Britain.

He continued: “During that stay, we received an increased entitlement to our pensions.

“So on Monday, when I set off, my pension is frozen in Australia. On Tuesday, when I arrive, my pension is thawed.

“What does it matter where I am?”
