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

Following my recent visit to Ibstock Bowling Club for the Big Bowls Weekend and to support fundraising for Sands United FC Ashby, I asked the Leader of the House to consider allowing time for a debate on the impact of baby loss and the support available for those affected.

I recently met with some of the trustees and members of the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme. It was great to hear directly about the progress made between trustees and the Government in transferring over the £2.3 billion payment reserve.
With over 700 members in the constituency and as a member of the Labour Coalfields Group in Parliament, I will continue to push towards parity for everyone in our coalfield communities, ensuring fairer pensions for members who served in essential roles within our coal industry.
