| Annotation | Every year, the Treasury takes more than £400 million out of miners' pensions funds, equivalent to nearly £1,000 per scheme member - and despite new figures showing that funds are slipping into the red. At the same time, many retired miners still struggle on low incomes. This briefing argues that pension funds should be for the benefit of retired members - that being their main purpose. (RH). |
