The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, further to the meeting Ministers in his Department had with the Trustees of the Mineworkers Pension Scheme on Thursday 30th April 2026, if he will provide an update on progress to resolve the outstanding issues within the scheme.
Answered by Chris McDonald
The Government is keen to reach agreement with the MPS Trustees on changes to the arrangements to benefit scheme members. The meeting on 30 April involved a constructive discussion of the proposals and how they might be taken forward. The government is mindful of the need to resolve this issue as swiftly as possible, and will make an announcement once agreement has been reached.
