Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, What discussions he has had with the National Assembly First Secretary and other Government colleagues concerning the pension situation of Welsh steel workers. (Failed OPQ)
Answer

Peter Hain:: My predecessor had regular meetings with Cabinet colleagues and the First Minister of the National Assembly for Wales and discussed a range of issues including steelworkers pensions. I will of course continue to take a close interest and this will include discussions with stakeholders. The issue of ASW workers' pensions was also raised at Welsh Affairs Committee on 15 October 2002, at which my predecessor participated. The Government is trying to address the issue of security for pension scheme members and will consider this in the forthcoming Green Paper.
