Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much the Government has received from the mineworker's pension scheme since 1994.

Primarily as a result of strong investment returns, the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme has generated surpluses which have been shared equally between Government and the scheme members as bonuses, in accordance with the agreement reached in 1994. In its role as Guarantor, the Government has received £3,356.3m by this means since 1994.
