Mineworkers Pensions Fund Surpluses

EDM number 711 in 2001-02, proposed by Jeff Ennis on 22/01/2002.

That this House welcomes the ú90 million scheme recently announced jointly by the Government and Trustees of the Mineworkers Pension Fund to provide additional benefits for retired miners on the lowest pensions; recognises the urgent need for the Government to re-visit the issue of the MPF surpluses with a view to the Government taking a smaller share of the surpluses, leaving more for the pensioners.

This motion has been signed by a total of 81 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
