Contribution

This Labour Government have strongly supported miners’ pensions. Indeed, at the Budget, the Chancellor guaranteed that future miners’ pension scheme funds would go to them. I also welcome his commitment to finish the job by releasing their remaining funds in weeks not months. Can we please have an update from the Chancellor on his discussions with the pension trustees this week and on how that commitment can be delivered?
