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.

📢 Great news for families!

This Government is rolling out 1,000 Family Hubs by 2028 to support parents and children under 5.

We’re fortunate to already have a small number Family Hubs. I’m excited for us to build on that and expand provision more widley across the constituency.

These hubs will offer services like parenting classes, early learning support, breastfeeding advice & more—helping every child get the best start in life! 💛

Twenty years on from the 7/7 attacks, we remember all those whose lives were lost and those whose lives were changed forever.

We honour the bravery of the first responders, and the strength of the survivors.

Those who try to divide us will always fail.
