The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he expects to publish the outcome of the Treasury’s review into the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme Investment Reserve; and if he will ensure that Members of Parliament are informed ahead of the Budget.

Answered by Chris McDonald

The Department is engaging with HM Treasury with a view to agreeing a way forward on the transfer of the reserve to members.

The Government is aiming to reach agreement on an outcome that can be implemented later this year which will benefit scheme members.
