Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme

Proceeding contribution from Hugh Gaffney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 June 2019. It occurred during Backbench debate on Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme.

My hon. Friend is talking about young people. This year in my constituency of Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill, the Auchengeich miners commemorate 60 years since 47 miners died in a fire—paying the real price of coal. Their children grew up fatherless, with no money, and people are still suffering today. That is the real price of coal. The Government should give the money back to the miners.
