Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme

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

I have done a quick calculation: if it is correct that there are currently 158,000 beneficiaries and the surplus taken of the Government share of the fund is about £4.45 billion, that is over £28,000 for every surviving beneficiary that the Government have already taken from that fund.
