Richard Tice

Reform UK — Boston and Skegness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 June 2026

Debate

British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme

Contribution

There is a reason why this request is actually fair and just. My hon. Friend talks so evocatively about the dangers undertaken by coalminers going underground, and in today’s world, that is almost impossible to imagine. That is the key difference. This was one of the most dangerous occupations in the country, but it literally kept the lights on and kept industry moving. For that reason, above all, justice and fairness must surely prevail.
