Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what sums are held in the investment reserve fund for the Mineworkers' Pension Scheme.
At the valuation date, 30 September 2017, the assets of the Investment Reserve were £1,488m. Since then, a payment of £475m has been made to the Guarantor. The Government Actuary decided that this payment should be made, noting that the remaining buffer is likely to continue to provide significant protection.
