Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions officials of his Department have had with the representatives of the Scottish Government on the distribution of the Investment Reserve arising from the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme.

Responsibility for policy and engagement relating to the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme rests with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and therefore there have been no meetings by HM Treasury officials on this matter.
