HC Deb 22 May 1980 vol 985 c361W
Mr. Goy Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he intends to adopt the terms of the Crombie code on redundancy payments for the staff of the Commission for New Towns and new town development corporations following the passage of the Local Government, Planning and Land (No. 2) Bill.

Mr. Stanley

[pursuant to his reply, 21 May i980, c. 263]: New towns legislation has always provided for the dissolution of development corporations, and so the terms of the Crombie code are not applicable to their staff.

I have no proposals to alter the present day-to-day management redundancy terms for the staff of the commission.
