We applaud the fact that the PPF is now reasonably confident that it has the funds it needs to meet potential claims on it. This is a significant achievement. There is now an opportunity to consider how the £12 billion in PPF reserves can be used to the benefit of PPF levy payers and scheme members. For scheme members, the priority is indexation on pre-1997 rights. DWP should bring forward its promised consultation on levy changes and PPF compensation levels without delay.

We note that pensions reform may be a requirement and draw this, and our broader observations and recommendations, to the attention of the Work and Pensions Committee, which has responsibility for scrutiny of the Department for Work and Pensions.

The charge caps on default pension saving products used for auto-enrolment are an important part of ensuring good value for savers who have not made an active decision about where their pension should be invested. However, we support the Government’s decision to review whether there are other charging structures which could better enable long-term and resource intensive investments, such as in infrastructure, while continuing to protect savers’ interests.

Governments should not be in the business of profiting from mineworkers’ pensions. We are therefore disappointed by the Government’s argument that the 1994 agreement is a success because the public purse has had strong returns from it. The Government is not a corporate entity driven by profit-motives, and should not view miners’ pensions as an opportunity to derive income. We also note that allowing the arrangement to continue would appear antithetical to the Government’s stated aim of redres...

With the benefit of hindsight, it is clear that the Government has already profited greatly from the Scheme. The Government must acknowledge that continuation of the arrangements in their current form deserves a review and a better outcome for pensions should be found. The current arrangements should be replaced with a revised agreement in which the Government is only entitled to a share of surpluses if the Scheme falls into deficit, and the Government has to provide funds. In that event, the...

Whilst we have called for the 50:50 split to be replaced with a more appropriate arrangement moving forward, we believe pensioners should also receive a more immediate uplift. We recommend that the Government hands the £1.2bn it is due to receive from the Investment Reserve back to miners, and sets out its proposals for how and when this will be administered in response to this report. (Paragraph 63) Conclusion

Whilst we have called for the 50:50 split to be replaced with a more appropriate arrangement moving forward, we believe pensioners should also receive a more immediate uplift. We recommend that the Government hands the £1.2bn it is due to …
