NUCLEAR WORKERS' PENSIONS

That this House is greatly concerned about the proposed pension reforms to civil nuclear workers on Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) estates; notes that as a result of the Enterprise Act 2016, these workers were also marked for a cap to be imposed on their exit payments, and were assured at the time that their pensions would not be affected; further notes that the terms and conditions that NDA workers were employed on played a crucial role in retaining their vital skills as part of the workforce; is alarmed that these pension reforms could see some employees lose up to 75 per cent of their pension; recognises the dedication and professionalism of employees working to make NDA estates around the UK safe; notes that any reneging on assurances that these workers were given is an insult to their hard work and commitment; and calls on the Government to honour the commitments previously made to these employees and urge the NDA to reconsider the proposed pension changes.
