Retired miners and their widows are set to march in London to protest the government's handling of the Miners' Pension Scheme, which they claim has unjustly deprived them of £4.8 billion since 1994. The march, organized by the National Miners' Pension Campaign, will start at 11am at Trafalgar Square and proceed at 12pm to Downing Street. Concurrently, debates and lobbying efforts are planned in Westminster, with discussions focusing on justice for miners, including pardons for those wrongly convicted during past strikes and equitable adjustments to their pension scheme.
