COAL INDUSTRY

The Mineworkers' Pension Scheme Order 1987

Whereas the Secretary of State has received representations from the British Coal Corporation ("the Corporation" ) pursuant to section 7(1) of the Coal Industry Act 1987^[1] ("the Act" ) and has consulted pursuant to section 7(2) of the Act with the Corporation and such organisations as appear to him to represent a substantial proportion of the members of the Scheme established under section 37 of the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act 1946^[2] which is known as the Mineworkers' Pension Scheme ("the Scheme" );

And whereas it appears to the Secretary of State that the Scheme does not provide for participation in functions conferred under it by an organisation which appears to him to represent a substantial proportion of the members of the Scheme;

Now, therefore, the Secretary of State in exercise of his powers under section 7(1) and (6) of the Act hereby makes the following Order:

    1.    This Order may be cited as the Mineworkers' Pension Scheme Order 1987 and shall come into force on 28th August 1987.

    2.    The Scheme shall have effect with the amendments specified in the Schedule to this Order.
