I have co-signed Grahame Morris MP’s letter to the Rt Hon Darren Jones MP, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, calling for urgent action to address the unfairness faced by members of the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS).
Thanks to the Labour government’s historic decision to transfer the £1.5 billion Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme reserve, around 1,500 former miners and their families have already seen a much-needed boost to their pensions.
I am urging the government to:
✅Waive the final £2.3 billion payment from the BCSSS reserve, thereby ensuring fairer pensions for members who served in essential roles within the coal industry.
It’s time to deliver parity for everyone in our coalfield communities

North West Leicestershire Defib Dash!
I’m really excited to launch the North West Leicestershire Defib Dash which will take place between 17th and 23rd November. This is a community audit of our local defib network. All you need to do is find your nearest publicly accessible defibrillator and ‘Dash’ to it (you could walk, run or cycle, just don’t use your car!), timing your journey.
Why? Every minute without CPR or Defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by 10% so it’s vital to raise awareness of where your nearest lifesaving defib is and where our deserts of coverage are. It will also allow us to ensure The Circuit, the national register of defibs, is accurate and up to date. (www.defibfinder.uk/)
You can register for a free campaign pack now ahead of the Defib Dash Week of Action and secure your place at our launch event on Saturday 15th November. (Details to follow to those who register).
Got questions? have a read through the FAQs online, or get in touch with my office.

Really useful to get an update on Monday from Donna Ockenden on the progress made so far in the investigation into maternity service failings at Nottingham University Hospitals Trust.
It was sobering to hear from families that joined the meeting to share their experiences with maternity services. I will continue to work closely with the national maternity and neonatal investigation and affected families to drive the changes needed in care and support.
For those who have contacted me so far from the constituency about this, please be assured that I will continue to support you, and if you have not been in touch yet, you are welcome to at any time. I can be contacted at [email protected] or on 01530569010.
As this is such a sensitive topic, I want to highlight the charity Sands, who support anyone affected by pregnancy or baby loss for as long as they need it: www.sands.org.uk/support-you/how-we-offer-support
Mind are also available for general support to those who need it: www.mind.org.uk/need-urgent-help/using-this-tool/
