| Annotation | Every year, the Treasury takes more than £400 million out of miners' pensions funds, equivalent to nearly £1,000 per scheme member. At the same time, many retired miners still struggle on low incomes. This briefing reports on a House of Commons debate called by Ann Picking, MP for East Lothian, requesting the Government to take less from funds and allowing pensioners to benefit more. (RH). |
