Baroness Hayman (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 March 2026

Debate

Pension Schemes Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I have added my name to this amendment. Given the quality of the speeches that have explained exactly what it would do and its very limited but important purpose—simply to allow the Government to have a proper handle on the data and a proper understanding of the exposure that pension schemes have to thermal coal investment—I think it would be a valuable step forward, one that I hope will get support from all around the House. In Committee, the Minister rightly acknowledged the high financial and climate risks associated with thermal coal investment and indicated that it was the Government’s expectation that industry will do more to reduce levels of coal investment, but we need to understand exactly what those levels are and to monitor them. For that reason, I support the amendment.
