To Trustees of the miners' pension scheme, including government-appointed trustees

Successive governments have taken over £4 billion by acting as guarantors for our miners' pension, and this is likely to rise to almost £7 billion in the next few years. The government takes 50% of any surplus from the pension scheme, despite many ex-miners, widows, and their families living close to the poverty line in retirement. For the government to have taken over £4 billion while miners and widows are living on £84 a week is an injustice that has gone on for too long.

Open letter text

The former miners who paid into the scheme deserve higher pension payments and a fairer cut of any surplus, especially as the cost of living impacts us all. The government must also continue to guarantee payments to miners.
