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

Many people have contacted me over the last few weeks about fireworks and the need to review the legislation surrounding them. I recently spoke about this on BBC Politics on Sunday.
Last week, members of my team also attended the drop-in event organised by the Fireworks Impact Coalition to discuss the need for better regulation to help protect our animals and vulnerable people.

Fantastic to be out in Ashby yesterday alongside some local councillors to talk with you about the upcoming Defib Dash! You can find out more information about the Defib Dash and sign up to take part here: www.amandahack.com/defib-dash-faqs/
By ‘dashing’ to your nearest defibrillator and timing your journey, you will help shine a light on the ‘defib deserts’ that exist in our area.
Too many of our neighbourhoods are without quick access to life-saving defibrillators, and that gap can mean the difference between life and death in an emergency.
The aim of the Defib Dash isn’t just to highlight where defibs are missing, but to get all of us thinking about a few key questions:
Do you know how far away your nearest defibrillator is?
Could someone get to it quickly in an emergency?
Where else in the community might one be needed most?
