Question reference: S5W-05081

Asked by: Willie Rennie, MSP for North East Fife, Scottish Liberal Democrats
Date lodged: Friday, 25 November 2016
Current Status: Answered by Keith Brown on 7 December 2016

To ask the Scottish Government how its purchase and sale of the Clydebridge and Dalzell steel plants will impact on the pension arrangements of (a) current and (b) future pensioners.

The purchase and sale of the plants by Scottish Government in no way affected workers pension arrangements. The workers at the Clydebridge and Dalzell steel plants were made redundant by Tata Steel. I understand that at the point they were made redundant, those employees who had elected to join the British Steel Pension Scheme (BSPS) would have ceased to be contributing members of the BSPS although their accrued benefits would not be affected. Liberty Steel will be offering all of their new employees an appropriate pension scheme.
