MINEWORKERS PENSIONS FUND SURPLUSES

That this House welcomes the ??90 million scheme recently announced jointly by the Government and Trustees of the Mineworkers Pension Fund to provide additional benefits for retired miners on the lowest pensions; recognises the urgent need for the Government to re-visit the issue of the MPF surpluses with a view to the Government taking a smaller share of the surpluses, leaving more for the pensioners.
