Mineworkers Pension Schemes

EDM number 453 in 1999-00, proposed by John Cummings on 29/02/2000.

That this House calls upon the Government to invite the trustees of the Mineworkers Pension Schemes to enter into immediate negotiations to seek a favourable adjustment of surpluses of the funds to enable an enhancement of benefits to members of the BCSSS and the MPS, especially the 28,000 pensioners who receive a pension of ú10 per week or less; recognises that the 50 per cent. government clawback of the current surpluses is unrealistic and an affront to former mineworkers, in view of the modest risk now involved with the funds owing to the continuing decline in the numbers of beneficiaries drawing pensions; and believes that a proportion of the Government percentage should be directed into former coalfield areas for the benefit of coalfield communities.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
