MPs' pension fund must dump fossil fuel investment, says Caroline Lucas; and the government should look to getting out of nuclear power, writes Paul DonovanThe government's decision to allow pension funds to dump investments in fossil fuels (Boost for fossil fuel divestment as UK eases pension rules, 18 December) is a major step forward but, with such progress on the issues around "fiduciary duty", it is increasingly puzzling that MPs are still denied a say over where our pensions are invested - and blocked from holding our trustees to account.
