MINEWORKERS' PENSION AND SUPERANNUATION SCHEME

Early day motion 149, tabled 16 July 2001 by John Cummings (Labour). Signed by 68 members.

That this House recognises that the 50 per cent. clawback by the Government of any surplus of the Mineworkers' Pension and Superannuation Scheme is grossly unfair; and invites the Government and the trustees of the Pension and Superannuation Scheme to enter into negotiations and agree upon a more just apportionment of the surplus and so enhance the pensions of thousands of retired mineworkers and widows.
