Following the positive news on the Mine Workers Pension Scheme, thank you to everyone who has contacted me regarding the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS). As part of the group of Coalfield MPs in Parliament, I wanted to share the latest situation with you all.
As you will be aware, the Labour government committed in the 2024 General Election
manifesto to remedy the injustice of the Mineworkers Pension Scheme.
The Government has said that it is open to reviewing any proposal put in place by the trustees of the BCSSS, and we will wait to see what they suggest in the near future.
“Should the trustees of the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS) wish to make
proposals for changes that would be fair to both scheme members and taxpayers, we will consider them.”
The Trustees have updated MPs this week that they are engaging with the Government as part of the BCSSS 2024 valuation consultation process, and have indicated that they will take this as an opportunity to review the Scheme’s structure, identify any areas of unfairness similar to
MPS, and deliver better outcomes for members.
As a Member of Parliament that has significant coal mining heritage, I am part of a group of Coalfield MPs that meet regularly and our chair, Grahame Morris MP, is engaging with the trustees on their next steps.

🚫💨 With the ban on disposable vapes now in effect (1st June), a couple of weeks ago I asked the Minister in Parliament what action is being taken at our ports and airports, including East Midlands Airport, to stop counterfeit and banned vapes from entering the UK.
This is a key step in protecting public health, especially for young people, and it's vital we have strong enforcement in place to back it up. I look forward to meeting the Minister to discuss further support that can be provided at EMA to support this important work. Watch the clip below 👇

All you MP’s, come and join us volunteers, who do such a great job at Keeping Britain Tidy. You’ll be shocked at the amount of e-cigarettes dumped all over and they cause fires. They should never have been made in the first place.
Did you vote to kill baby’s today ?
It’s been 9 years since Jo Cox our friend and colleague was killed.
We have her coat of arms in the chamber and this for me is a reminder of her maiden speech.
‘We are far more united and have far more in common that what divides us’

How time flies just so sad!
Very sad 💔💔 Amanda, Excluded UK lost 2 more members 2 days ago 💔. Yet again the burden of being left behind during #Covid_19 became too much. 💔💔 Hardworking taxpayers losing their health, homes and very sadly lives 5 years on!
And the murderer yelled "Britain First" as he killed her. That pretty much tells you all you need to know. 😡
