| 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 presents facts and figures to support the view that existing fund surpluses could be better spent on improving pensioners' incomes. (RH). |
