§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what were the arrangements for notice and the actual notice given by the last chairman of the London Docklands development corporation prior to his resignation; and how much severance pay and pension entitlement he received.
§ Mr. KeyChairmen and members of public bodies are public appointees and are not normally required to give notice if they resign.
The previous chairman of the LDDC, Sir Christopher Benson, did not resign but completed his appointment in the normal way.
It is not Government policy to disclose the individual pension arrangements for members of public bodies.
