Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the efficacy of Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme for its members.
Members of the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme receive pensions around 33% higher in real terms as a result of the current arrangements. The Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee have made a number of recommendations which the Minister for Business, Energy and Clean Growth will discuss with the Scheme Trustees before responding to the report.
