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.

Such an amazing achievement by #ashbynetballclub to have secured a record breaking 75 hours of continuous Netball.
Was great to see the end of the 75 hours at Ivanhoe School at 1pm today.
Well done to each and every player, referee, supporter for your incredible work. Thanks to the amazing sponsors who helped make it happen.

Have you visited Leicester Royal Amanda? a family member of mine at go wait hours in an ambulance then was transferred to yet another ambulance before he even got inside the hospital!!! These figures mean absolutely nothing when you still can’t get a face to face appointment with a GP.
How have you been able to do that,
It's deeply concerning that the government has forced Apple to weaken its advanced end-to-end encryption protections for data stored within iCloud. This is a serious attack on privacy and security for millions of people, including journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens who rely on secure communication. Weakening encryption doesn’t just affect criminals, it makes everyone more vulnerable to hacking, surveillance, and cybercrime. Why is the government prioritizing mass surveillance over individual rights? Will you stand up against this dangerous overreach?
