Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 December 2024

Debate

Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme: Living Standards

Contribution

May I welcome what the Government and the Minister are doing on this matter? This good scheme takes care of an injustice from some 30 years ago. There are those in Northern Ireland who worked in the mines, and their families are still concerned about this issue. Can we have a timescale for the completion of the work on the British coal staff superannuation scheme, which some of them would have qualified for?
