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

I recently spoke in a Westminster Hall debate about access to Defibrillators.
I feel deeply passionate about the urgent need for more defibs, greater knowledge about CPR and defib use, better awareness of heart health and a wider screening programme to detect risk. I'll continue to work closely with organisations such as Resuscitation Council UK and the British Heart Foundation to improve access to defibs and our local heart health.
You can watch the full speech via the link in the comments.
(Note the defib in Marlborough Square in Coalville is now accessible.)
