Former miner hits out at pension scandal

Published

on



Gloria De Piero and Liam Halligan spoke to former miner Inky on GB News, to discuss the miners’ pension scandal.

The Government is being urged to tackle a “historic injustice” in the pension scheme of mineworkers and transfer £1.2 billion to the fund.

The move would give a £14 increase to the average weekly pension of £84, according to MPs.

The Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee said, given the “vast sums” paid from the scheme to the Government, it was “unconscionable” that many former miners were struggling to make ends meet.

The committee said that since privatisation of the scheme in 1994, the Government has received 50% of surpluses in its value, in return for providing a guarantee that the value of pensions will not decrease.
