Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 November 2024

Debate

Wales: Coal Tip Safety

Contribution

As someone who campaigned on this issue in the other place, I was delighted that in the first Labour Budget for 15 years we announced that the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme will receive an uplift of 32% for pensioners—an average of £29 per week, or £1,506 per year—which was funded from the scheme, but the previous Government refused to allow the trustees to move forward in that way. It is a welcome move for many thousands of people up and down the country.
