Chancellor announces funds from superannuation scheme to be released
-
JUSTICE': Former miners will get a pension boost.
HUNDREDS of ex-miners in North Staffordshire are set to receive extra retirement payments after the Chancellor announced she would release funds from a pension scheme.
MPs and former pit staff in coalfield communities have been calling for the release of £2.3 billion in reserves from the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme (BCSSS).
During her Budget speech on Wednesday, Rachel Reeves said she had made the decision to meet their demands after pressure from Labour MPs.
The decision is expected to impact around 800 pensioners in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme who worked at sites like Silverdale Colliery and Chatterley Whitfield.
