Miners Pension Fund Surpluses

EDM number 264 in 1999-00, proposed by Michael Clapham on 13/01/2000.

That this House welcomes the Coalfield Communities Campaign report on the Miners Pension Funds and notes that every year the Treasury receives a multi-million pound windfall from the funds, which have an asset value in excess of ú23 billion, under arrangements which were put in place by the Tory Government when the coal industry was privatised in 1994; and, in view of the modest risk that is now involved, asks Her Majesty's Government to adjust the division of the surpluses in a fairer way, leaving more for the 300,000 plus pensioners, 28,000 of whom receive less than ú10 per week, and to plough back a larger proportion of what has been received into coalfield communities.

This motion has been signed by a total of 133 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
